BOSTON COLLEGE

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

May, 2006

Dear Members of the Class of 2006:

Four years have gone by since your class enrolled at Boston College, and
so much has happened in your lives and also in our world since them.
Challenges remain not only for you as you move toward graduation, but also for
BC, the United States, and our world. It is certainly my hope that the past four
years have enabled you to develop your talents and prepared you for the years
ahead.

All of us in the Boston College community are grateful to you for your
many contributions to campus life, especially your idealism and generosity.
Since its founding in 1863, Boston College has sought to help its students grow-
intellectually, spiritually, and socially, so that they in turn can go forth from "the
Heights" being forces for good in wider society.

You have accomplished much during your time at BC, and I encourage
you to continue developing your gifts so that you can lead healthy, productive
lives. At a time when our world is torn by war in Iraq and Afghanistan, troubled
by the effects of poverty in the United States and abroad, and seeking peace and
stability, it needs individuals like you, people with strength, compassion, and
great zeal. May you always have confidence in yourselves and trust in the
providence of God.

Sincerely,

(4/fo^PJLu~ t <$

When we think back on the past year, we cannot help but be reminded of unspeak-
able loss. With the ramifications of the South Asian earthquake and tsunami
still fresh in our minds, the world experienced countless natural disasters that
influenced everyday life whether we wanted it to or not. Hurricane Katrina hit close to
home as more than a thousand people lost their lives during the deadly floods and thousands
more were displaced from the homes and lives they had become accustomed to. Selective
residents from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama found temporary shelter within the New
Orleans Convention Center and Superdome, while hospitals found the resounding demand
for aid overwhelming. Then just months later, a 7.6 earthquake hit Pakistan, Afghanistan
and northern India and left more than 87,000 dead in its wake. And as the world dealt
with the stream of endless natural disasters, it was bombarded with unnatural disasters as
well. London became the latest target of terrorist attacks and Paris experienced riots in the
Muslim sectors of the city. This year also saw the rise of a health pandemic, as the Avian flu
killed more than 70 people in Asian countries alone and sent health officials into a frenzy
to find an antidote. Yet in spite of the disaster and the loss, the world found ways to unite
more than they had ever before. Live 8, born out of Live Aid decades before, was a series of
relief concerts held throughout the world and helped spawn a massive effort to increase the
African aid package generated during the G8 summit. Also, the tsunami relief concert set
an unprecedented bar for those to follow. Despite John Paul IPs death, the world united to
remember the influence his benevolence and his charisma had on everyone he touched, while
Rosa Park's passing was marked by gratitude for her life of social activeness. The world also
united to watch Lance Armstrong win his seventh consecutive Tour de France, the Chicago
White Sox break an 88 year curse to win the World Series and Harry Potter continued his
magical fight through an enchanting new book. And yet,
if we reflect and remember only that the year was filled
with grief, we have not let it influence us completely. In
this past year, we have learned more than any other time
in the world's recent history that, despite loss, we can still
find hope. We have learned that in our most difficult
times, we must all influence each other and help one
another the most that we can. Myra Chai

Current Events of 2006

In a year filled with disaster, loss and heartache, the world we have come to know changed drastically
before our eyes. A tsunami, an earthquake, fatal storms and floods claimed more than 300.000
lives and cost at least 100 billion dollars in damage. It began with the 2004 South Asian earthquake
and tsunami, which ended with a final death toll of at least 220.000 and months of reconstruction. It
became the most cataclysmic natural disaster of the modern era and sparked the largest relief effort in
history. Hurricane Katrina inflicted unspeakable damage to southern parts of the United States, most
heavily in New Orleans, as the world watched water break through barrier after barrier. It seemed as
if the horror of natural disasters would never end as a 7.6 earthquake struck Pakistan. Afghanistan and
northern India on October 8th. killed more than 87.000 and left more than 3 million homeless. Separate
from these forces of nature came forces from humans themselves as the war in Iraq continued to wage
amidst hope and despair, while London became the target of the latest terrorist attacks during the July
7th transit system bombings, which killed 52 and wounded more then 700. The streets of Paris were the
next victims of violence in October as poor and largely Muslim suburbs erupted in rioting and spurred
debate in France about race relations and what it meant to be French. Finally, the deadly Avian flu pan-
demic riveted the attention of health officials worldwide as more than 70 people in Asia died from the
infection, making it the year's top health news story. Tension and unease gripped the world as citizens
began to lose sense of the word safety. And yet in spite of this the) found a way to deal and a wa) to
assimilate within the ever-changing world around them. They bid farewell to their beloved John Paul II
and celebrated his down-to-earth and charismatic attitude that affected all around him before welcom-
ing his successor Pope Benedict XVI. The G8 summit, influenced by the massive effort on the part
of Live 8. created a new and stronger African aid relief package
than ever before. The trial of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hus-
sein began in July and in October, nearly 10 million Iraqi voters
turned out to pass a draft constitution. Israel completed its pull-
out from the Gaza Strip in August, ending a 38-year occupation
of the region and in late November, the Palestinian government
celebrated the opening of the Ratal] border between the Gaza Strip
and Eg\pt. When we reflect on these events, we realize that ever)
part o\' us has been in some wa\ affected by all o\~ them, some
more than others, but that we have become stronger and a more
unified people as a result o\ them. \(\ ra Ch.u

Current Events of 2006

More than any other event in the past year, the horrors of Hurricane Katrina con-
tinued to grip the nation long after the storm reeked havoc on the Gulf Coast on
August 29, 2005. In its wake it left more than 1.300 dead and thousands of evac-
uees still displaced months later, as coastlines in Louisiana. Mississippi and Alabama were
engulfed. A month later. Hurricane Rita threatened Galveston. Texas, and though it weakened
at the last minute, the seemingly infinite threat of devastation marked the most active Atlantic
hurricane season ever recorded. Yet the past year was not marked only by unfortunate natural
disasters. In March, the national debate over euthanasia reached a climax when the feeding
tube of Terri Schiavo, who had suffered severe brain damage 15 years earlier, was removed
for two weeks and the day before her death, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to have her tube
reinserted. Then in May, W Mark Felt, the man famously known as Deepthroat. revealed
his identity and his role during the Watergate scandal that brought down Republican president
Richard Nixon after three decades of speculation. In July, the nation bid farewell to their much
beloved news anchor. Peter Jennings, who died of cancer. Loss was evident not only in the news
sector but also in the Supreme Court as Chief Justice William Rehnquist died in September and
Sandra Day O'Connor, the first female on the Supreme Court, retired. Just a month later, the
country lost one of its greatest civil rights protestors. Rosa Parks, who famously refused to give
up her seat to a white man and who inspired powerful social and political change throughout
her life. And then as Katrina hit the nation on all sectors. energ\ prices, already affected b>

ACADEMICS

Edited by:
Nhu Huynh & Erin Klewin

No two academic experiences at Boston College are ever the same. With over fifty
programs of study in five undergraduate schools, Boston College offers unique
opportunities to over 8,900 undergraduate students. Still, there are many common
threads throughout the academic lives of students on the Heights. From our very first days,
we are infused with the knowledge that our education will be influenced by the Jesuit tra-
dition. Although we are learning as individuals, we are doing so with the hope of using
that knowledge to become "men and women for others." First year students struggle with
the demands of the University core and quickly learn that 9am classes were probably not a
good idea after all. Special academic programs such as Pulse, Perspectives and the Honors
Program work as supplements to the Core and give students a way to add to its liberal edu-
cation basis. By sophomore year, students begin to pursue a major specific to their interest
and abilities. Growing more accustomed to the University, sophomores truly start to leave
their mark on the Heights. With a deep impression of life at BC already made on them,
many students spend part or all of their junior year abroad, allowing the world outside of
Chestnut Hill to impact them as well. For those that stay at Boston College, junior year is a
time for solidifying plans for internships and major-related work. And as senior year comes
and goes, students continue to face new academic challenges as well as manage familiar
ones. The stress of finishing a thesis is often compounded with applications for graduate
school and interviews for jobs. And though four years of academic experiences seem to go
by quickly, our time here has left an incredible impression on all of us. Most of our time on
campus was used for studies, test preparations and classes. And why not? We were here at
Boston College to focus on learning. However, as our time here progresses, we often learned
that the most valuable lessons could be had outside of class: working with classmates, meet-
ing people with different backgrounds and experiences,
and learning to manage our many responsibilities. All of
these things, regardless of whether or not they show up on
our diplomas, are signs of Boston College's outstanding
academics. It is likely that they will look back to the les-
sons learned for years to come and remember the Heights
as the site of their greatest academic journey. Marisa

With 110 members in Boston College's Jesuit community, some 70 of those living in
St. Marys Hall. 54 active on campus as full or part time administration and foe
ulty, plus 23 Jesuits visiting from 16 different countries, it is clear that the Jesuit
ideal plays a strong role at Boston College. Boston College develops the student as a whole in the
Jesuit ideal, studying in an orderly way and exposing them to the humanities, particularly those
subjects that develop moral goodness, devotion to the truth, and a disposition to act for the eft ic
good. All students at Boston College receive a well-rounded Liberal Arts education, taking
core of classes encompassing the arts, cultural diversity history, literature, mathematics, natu-
ral science, philosophy, social science, theology, and writing. The core curriculum focuses on
critical thinking in a variety of concentrations. BC offers many auricular programs directK
addressing Jesuit values including Pulse and Perspectives Programs; the Capstone courses; the
Faith-PeaceJustice undergraduate minor: the School of Educations focus on urban schools; the
ethics courses in the undergraduate and graduate programs of the Carroll School o\ Manage
ment; and the Law Schools efforts to integrate legal ethics, jurisprudence, and a clinical program
that serves the poor. The focus of these courses and endeavors are to help students find their
vocations in the work field but also as human beings active in the community and the world.
Boston College seeks to have students actively question their surroundings. Facult) reflect the
Jesuit ideal by participating in seminars dealing with natural science and belief, religious values
and the use of technology, the alienation o\~ intellectual and professional elites from religion
in contemporary culture, the Catholic Church and the AIDS
crisis, and public schools and the Church. Beyond scholastic
endeavors. Boston College offers students numerous oppor-
tunities to live out the Jesuit life. Student groups such as the

Dear Friends in the Class of 2006,

During the past five years, you have witnessed significant change and transition
through a series of natural and unnatural disasters. From 9/11 during your senior
year in high school to the hurricanes and floods that devastated the Gulf Coast during
your senior year at Boston College, from the war in Iraq to the earthquakes in Indo-
nesia and Pakistan, the landscape has changed. These monumental events bring out
the best and the worst in people, as we have seen.

Your liberal arts training at Boston College has prepared you well for change. The
depth of your educational experience, through your major, and its breadth, through
the Core curriculum, your electives, and, for an increasing number of our graduates,
a departmental or interdisciplinary minor, have taught you how to look at the world
and its challenges from a number of different viewpoints. Most pressing policy issues
have ethical and moral, economic and political, historical and scientific dimensions,
and you have experienced most or all of these various lenses. You have learned to
think critically, to write persuasively and, I hope, to change your mind in the face of
evidence.

This is a world that needs help, a fact that makes me appreciate all the more our
mottoes: "Ever to excel" and "To educate men and women for others!' The faculty
and administration are proud of how these phrases have guided your experiences at
Boston College and we are confident that they will continue to do so after you gradu-
ate.

As you depart, you will leave your friends in the faculty, the administration and the
staff behind. Please stay in touch with your favorite teachers and mentors, as I know
you will with your classmates. If you are reading this many years from 2006, write
or email a friend on campus today, and bring him or her up to date on your journey
since graduation. A note from a former student makes my day like little else can.

You have joined a new family of more that 140,000 BC graduates, many of whom have
remained engaged with Boston College, and who have helped to make it the great
university that it is. Go forth, set the world aflame, but please remain engaged with
your alma mater and come back, soon and often.

Sincerely,
Joseph F Quinn

Dean Andrew Boynton

Dear Graduates of the Class of 2006,

On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Carroll School of Management, it is a privilege and plea-
sure to extend our heartfelt congratulations to you. 'tour graduation from Boston College begins
one of life's most personal and important transitions. \bur years as an undergraduate student,
with the surprises and challenges you've experienced, will give way to your life as a citizen of the
world; a life filled with excitement and responsibilities that you will enjoy and, we are confident,
will lead to tremendous personal success.

I'm sure many of you feel that this period in your life is the beginning of something new, and the
casting off of something old. Id like to challenge that notion a little bit. I don't think there is a a
sharp distinction between your years here at Boston College and the years ahead as an important
member of society. The time you have spent here at BC had an intense focus on learning. But I
firmly believe that the rest of your life should also be focused on learning. I hope what we have i
done here is to teach you how to learn, because your ability to learn throughout your life will bee
the single best predictor of your future success.

There is no doubt that we live in a knowledge economy. Universal access to knowledge has neu-
tralized the competitive advantages that America and Western Europe have enjoyed for the last
several generations. \bur success is much less likely to depend on the language you speak, the
currency you spend and the economic prosperity of your parents. Instead, it will depend on your
thirst for knowledge; your hunger for ideas.

So, I encourage you to seek out new ideas today, tomorrow, next week, and for the rest of your life.
Build your sources of information and knowledge just as energetically as you build your social
and professional networks. Not only will this enrich your life, but it will enable you to reach your
potential; to maximize your contribution to society. Take with you all the knowledge you have
accumulated here at BC, and see it as a foundation upon which to build the ideas that will carry
our society forward.

Although your years as an undergraduate student have now passed, there is a big surprise in storei
for you. \bu are not leaving Boston College now and you never will, for Boston College is a statei
of mind. As a Son of Boston College myself, your years ahead, like mine, will be most enriched,
when you continually commit your mind and soul to serving others, to learning, always learning,,
and remembering ever to excel. Let Boston College provide you strength, insight, and guidance;
in your years ahead. But remember, come back and visit us once in awhile. As someone wrote to
me and my fellow graduates on these same pages years ago, you are always welcome back to this
old pond. We salute you!

Sincerely,

The Connell School of Nursing (CSON) was founded on January 27, 1947
at the behest of Cardinal Cushing who believed that nurses should be
educated in a Jesuit institution. It was named for William Connell
'59, who donated $10 million to the school before his death in 2001. In 1988,
CSON became the only nursing school in Boston to offer a doctoral program.
Its undergraduate program is focused on the development of the professional
nurse and is rooted in the liberal arts. There are approximately 230 under-
graduate students enrolled in CSON, which was ranked the 19th best nurs-
ing school in the country by U.S. News & World Report. After completing
121 credits of liberal arts, physical and social sciences, and nursing courses,
CSON students obtain the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing.
These preparations are designed to develop a student's diagnostic, therapeutic
and ethical reasoning in nursing practice. Furthermore, CSON educates its

the following departments: Adult Health. Communit) Health. Maternal Child

Dear William E Connell SON Graduating Class of 2006:

Congratulations to all of you on your graduation, and thank you for
the many contributions you have made to this school during your time
here. During your four years, you have witnessed many changes in the
world and in health care. Nurses have played major roles in responding
to terrorism and natural disasters. We know that you too will use your
talents and your Boston College education to serve the grater good.

Ydu are entering the health care field at a challenging time. Cur-
rently, about 12% of nursing positions are vacant. There is a projected
demand for one million new and replacement nurses over the next
ten years. Recent research has demonstrated the crucial role that well
educated nurses play in shown to be associated with better educated
nurses and adequate nurse staffing. There is a great need for Master's
prepared nurses: Clinical Nurse Specialists, Nurse Anesthetists, Nurse
Midwives, and Nurse Practitioners. We expect that most of you will go
on for graduate degrees. Additionally, we need nurses with the PhD,
who can conduct the studies that will improve the quality of care for
our clients. There is no doubt that the opportunities are there for all
of you.

As graduates of the William E Connell SON, you have been extremely
well prepared for the current and evolving health care system. \bur
program, grounded in the liberal arts and in the Jesuit tradition of
excellence in service to others, was designed to produce graduates
who apply honed critical thinking skills to clinical decision-making.
\bu will certainly rise to the challenges and bring the Boston College
tradition and spirit to all you do.

May God continue to bless you, your parents, and loved ones, as you
leave Boston College to commence the next phase of your life.

Sincerely

The Woods College of Advancing Studies (WCAS) originated from the
Evening College that was established in the early 1900's. Through
the generosity of University trustees Katharine and Robert Devlin,
the WCAS was named for James A. Woods, S.J. — the school's dean since
1968 — in May of 2002. For seventy-four years, it has been fully commit-
ted to the mission of advancing the dialogue between religious belief and
other formative elements of culture through intellectual inquiry, teaching and
learning, and community life. In the atmosphere of a small setting within
the resources of a large university, the Woods College of Advancing Studies
offers both full- and part-time study opportunities for its students. It offers
a serious education outside of the tradition of daytime schooling, which is
perfect for those limited by other responsibilities or those who simply prefer
a part-time schedule or the consistently small classes at the college within a

To the Class of 2006:

Great joy and accomplishment are yours as you celebrate graduation.
You have achieved what you dared to dream. The talent, commitment
and optimism you brought to studies will now be advanced in differ-
ent directions, shared in new ways.

You face a new world. Unknown challenges now widen your horizons
and demand a clear sense of mission. This world community invites
your vision, vitality and vigilant empathy for others. You are pre
pared to question, to seek answers and to respond. You have anchored
your knowledge, convictions and attitudes in a commitment to others
which is the essence of moral engagements. Life's many changes will
now always be examined in a defined context. You cannot ever leave
behind what now enlightens your dreams.

Your imagination and initiative link you today with distant continents
and disparate cultures. Your talents and many gifts call you to connect
the world's communities and carve a future of freedom and peace.

You own the greatest human freedom: to choose your own attitude
in any given circumstance. To secure your opinions under extreme
conditions when there is no chance of changing them is the highest
expression of personal autonomy.

For seventy-seven years, graduates of the Woods College of Advanc
ing Studies have gone forth into a world of upheaval and advance the
noblest human cause: freedom and moral concern for others. Seize
every opportunity with wisdom and optimism. Make learning a life-
long goal. Respond to the compelling challenges with understanding
and enthusiasm.

Prayerful best wishes for all the years ahead.

LIBRARIES

Educational Resources

Boston College was the first institution to construct a building dedicated solely as a
library in the 400-year history of Jesuit education. Today, its various research librar-
ies contain over twelve million printed volumes, manuscripts, journals, government
documents and microform items that range from ancient papyrus scrolls to digital databases.
The largest central research library located on the main campus in Chestnut Hill is the Thomas
P "Tip" O'Neill, Jr. Library, named for the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, a
member of the Boston College Class of 1936. Opened in 1984. it contains over 14 million printed
volumes on a broad range of subjects that reflect on the University's extensive curriculum. Studs
spaces and workstations provide access to these resources. O'Neill also houses either centers and
facilities such as the Media Center, the Connors Family Development Center, and the Thomas
R O'Neill, Jr. Exhibit. Bapst Library was one of the original buildings on "the Heights;' and
was named after the first president of Boston College, Johannes Bapst. SJ. Often praised as
the "finest example of Collegiate Gothic architecture of America!' Bapst is distinctive in the
richness of its architecture and stained class, and in the elaborate interior decorations such as
tapestries, oriental rugs, statues and oil paintings. Gregan Hall, the soaring reading room on
the library's upper floor, has been named the most beautiful room in Boston. Today it is also
referred to as the Art Library as it contains over 29,000 resources in the fine arts, including art
history, architecture, sculpture, ceramics, decorative arts, photograph) and museum studit
The Honorable John J. Burns Library o\~ Rare Books and Special Collections houses the Univer-
sity's rare books, special collections and archives. Located in the Bapst Library building, it is
home to more than 150.000 volumes, some 15 million manu-
scripts and important collections of architectural records,
maps, art works, and papers that are housed in a climateeon-
trolled, secure environment. Other BC libraries include the
Social Work Library that serves the students and the faculty
of Graduate School of Social Work and the undergraduate
library on the Newton Campus. With such vast resources Bl
their disposal, it is no surprise that Boston College is known

both national!) and international!) for its research, accom-
plishments and efforts. Seungeunl I ee Photos b) Mto Hmnh

The Honors Program within the College of Arts & Sciences was started in 1958 to chal-
lenge superior students to work to the best of their potential and is one of the oldest
in the country. The program is designed to provide a more integrated approach to the
required core subjects, allowing students to have a solid foundation for the more specialized
studies. The approximate 140 students participating in the Program annualK are chosen pri-
marily for their academic excellence: the\ generalh have SATs in the ranee o\ 1450 and are usu-
ally in the top 5 c /c of their high school classes. Other students ma\ be selected tor ha\ ing several
years of Greek, founding literay journals, working at interesting jobs, or having unusual recom-
mendations from their high school teachers. At the same time, superior first-sear students have
the opportunity to be admitted to the Honors Program as sophomores each year with recom-
mendations from their first-year course instructors. The program offers small classes that are
no larger than 15 students, seminar discussion, and close personal attention o\ instructors

This past year, three exceptional Boston College juniors were
awarded the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship, the Asian
American Scholarship, and the Oscar Romero Scholarship.
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Committee, founded in 1981,
sponsors the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship, which is awarded
to a junior who best represents the ideals of Dr. King, including lead-
ership, service, and academic accomplishment. The scholarship also
guarantees the winner 75 percent of his senior year turition. Chick-
aelo Ibeabuchi, president of the African student organization, was
awarded the prestigious 2005 scholarship from a group of five final-
ists. In accepting the honor, Ibeabuchi acknowledged the efforts of
King, and appreciated how far he has been able to proceed in life.
The Asian American Scholarship, created in 1995, annually recognizes
an Asian American junior who demonstrates academic excellence, is
commited to promoting Asian American awareness, and their work
as an Asian American leader both on and off campus. The 2005 recip-
ient of this year's scholarship is Jina Moon, a double major in com-
munications and political science with a minor in Asian studies. She
is currently the vice president of the Asian Caucus and is an active
member of the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Celebration
Committee, the Korean Students Association, the Phillipine Society
of BC, and the Undergraduate Government of BC's ethnic studies
committee, which is working to establish an ethnic studies minor.
The 13th Archbishop Oscar A. Romero Scholarship was awared to
Omar Gonzalez, one of three finalists, in recognition of his excellent
academics and outstanding record of community service. Gonzalez
embodies Romero's message to all when he states "I recgonize I am
not a master builder, just a worker." He urges for each individual to
take a proactive role in the community, but like all of the scholarship
winners, he takes a humble yet powerful intiative towards leader-
ship. Erin Klewin and Nhu Huynh

"The words by Martin Luther King Jr.. "Every man must decide whether he will

ultimately capture the essence o\ his legacy as well as serve as m> personal moti-
vation upon which I choose to guide my life today What I admire most was his
unyielding selfishness and his devotion to service others. When I reflect upon his
life and vision what becomes increasingly apparent is self-perception as an active
vehicle for change. It is his legacy that has not only inspired but challenged me
to "be the change I wish to see in my future* - and to lead by example. I believe I
am an example of his success. Because of his hard- work and self-sacrifice. I have
been able to succeed, and for that I am truly grateful. Sir. Isaac Newton states it
best when he says, "If I have seen further it's because I have stood on the back
giants" forme one of the giants was [)t Martin Luther King Jr. In order to continue
Dr. King's vision, I must continue to \ iew myself as a leader and like him lead b\
example, maintain my commitment to ser\e others, and above all challenge myself
to be an active instrument of change.*'

Fellowships

The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the
U.S. Department of State. It is the larg-
est U.S. international exchange program
offering opportunities for students, scholars and
professionals to undertake international gradu-
ate study, advanced research, university teaching,
and teaching in elementary and secondary schools
worldwide. The program was established in 1946
by the U.S. Congress to "enable the government of
the United States to increase mutual understand-
ing between the people of the United States and
the people of other countries!' Approximately six
thousand grants were awarded in 2004, at a cost of
more than $250 million, to U.S. students, teachers,
professionals, and scholars to study, teach, lecture,
and conduct research in more than 150 countries,
and to their foreign counterparts to engage in sim-
ilar activities in the United States. The Fulbright
Program receives its primary source of funding
through an annual appropriation from Congress to
the Department of State. Participating governments
and host institutions in foreign countries, and in the
United States, also contribute financially through
cost-sharing and indirect support, e.g., as salary sup-
plements, tuition waivers, and university housing.
Since the establishment of the Program, more than
42,000 students from the United States and 147,000
students from other countries have benefited from
the Fulbright experience. The Fulbright Program
has provided more than 250,000 participants, chosen
for their leadership potential, with the opportunity
to observe each others' political, economic and cul-
tural institutions, exchange ideas, and embark on
joint ventures of importance to the general welfare

of the world's inhabitants. From its inception, the
Fulbright Program has fostered bilateral relation-
ships in which other countries and governments
work with the US to set joint priorities and shape
the program to meet shared needs. In recent years,
the Department of German Studies at Boston Col-
lege has enjoyed unusual success in promoting its
own graduating seniors for Fulbright Fellowships
to Germany and Austria. Most recently in 2005,
fourteen fellowships were awarded to Boston Col-
lege students and recent graduates, eight of them in
the German Studies Department. The Class of 05's
winners and their hosting countries are as follows:
Patrick Carey, a mathematics and philosophy major
and German minor (Germany); Stephen Cottle,
an international studies and German major (Ger-
many). Colin Donohoe, a biology major and German
minor (Germany); Kristen Faucetta, a political sci-
ence major and East European studies and history
minor (Bulgaria); Lindsay Jansen, a political sci-
ence major (Germany); Erina Megowan, a history
major (Germany); Christopher Noble, a philosophy
and German studies major (Germany); Hannah

(India); Christy Slavik, a French major and his-
tory minor (France); Matthew Thompson, a sociol-
ogy major and German and music minor teaching
English a secondary school in Germany; Jessica

preservice teacher along a developmental continuum toward a thoughtful, self-directed profes-
sional who can rise to the many challenges posed by todays schools. The experience helps
students explore and enhance the skills necessary for accepting the challenges o\ mentoring,
supervising, and learning the standards of a vital profession. Clinicals similarly provide a
hands-on experience in the profession of nursing. All junior and senior nursing students, plus
half of the sophomore class, attend clinicals at hospitals in the surrounding area. Nursing stu-
dents must attend a clinical in each specialty care area over the course of four years- Adult
Heath. Child Bearing & Maternity, Pediatrics. Psychiatrics, and Community Health. At the
clinicals. students are in charge of the complete care of a patient for the (\a\. and are responsible
for administering medications, hygiene, and nutrition. The
last phase of the clinical process taken during senior \ear
is Synthesis, in which the student picks .i specific area the\
want to focus in and follows a particular nurse in that area
around during their shifts. The aim of synthesis is to pro-
vide a transition from the role of student to professional. The
overall purpose of cluneals is tor students to gain a hands on
expeirence in an actual nursing environment, and provid
a time for students to final ly appl\ all the thoeretical con-
cepts learned in class. v/m Huynh t \. Erin KJewin. Photos h\

MIND EXPANSION

In the spirit of the Jesuit ideal of developing the person as a whole.
Boston College offers several unique interdisciplinary studies that pro-
vide students the opportunity to explore subject matter from various
perspectives. Students are encouraged to think beyond the assumptions ol
any single department. Students enrolled in the American Studies minor
encounter a number of overarching debates within the field over subjects
such as character and consequences of mass migration, the historical emer-
gence of densely populated cities and how such urbanization affects culture
and social order, the transformation of frontiers into borderlands, and the
renewed academic interest in American imperialism. Offered as either a
minor or a major, the Black Studies Program, founded in 196$ seeks to
encourage the study of and research on the experience of African Ameri-
cans and other peoples of the African Diaspora and to introduce students
to the culture, arts. historx and literature ol the Black peoples ol \tiu
America and the Caribbean. As pan ol an academic initiative to bring
more African American students to Boston College and to make the under-
graduate curriculum more relevanl to African American students. Boston
College is one of the first major universities in the United States to estab-
lish Black Studies as a permanent part of the academic curriculum. Irish
Studies offers an interdisciplinary understanding o\ the culture and societx
of Ireland. Students m the Irish Studies Program Stud) history literature,
drama, music, art. theater, and the lush language Students max partici-
pate in the partnership programs that the Irish Studies program and the
Center for International Partnerships and Programs have developed with
several universities in Ireland. The Women's Studies Program emphasizes
the Stud) of women's past and present position in society analyzing the dif-
ferences among women as a result ol such factors as race, class, religion, and
Sexuality. The concept o\ gender relations is also an important emphasis as
are issues that intersect with gender such as nationalism and post colonial-
ism, health, labor, sexuality, race, familx work and welfare N - Kelly

Rarely are there individuals who truly motivate and move other persons to
fulfill their highest potential. In the university setting, professors are sup-
posed to be individuals who transfer knowledge and experience to stu-
dents. These four professors have been nominated and selected because of their
ability to not only teach well but because they have been significant figures in the
lives of students on a much more personal level. The professors are appealing not
because of the the topics they teach but because of the passion they have for teach-
ing. They are concerned with the lives of their students. Perhaps they see for their

Professor McNellis

Father/Professor McNellis SJ is not only an extraordinarily
intelligent Jesuit, he has also dedicated his life to helping
others at Boston College and abroad. A former Green Beret
who fought in the Vietnam War, Father McNellis now reaches
out to students globally to promote justice and peace. He has
taught at Boston College, in Rome, Vietnam and Cambodia.
He is an admirable human being who is highly knowledgeable
about various subject matters. Most importantly, he is con-
cerned about the welfare of students at Boston College on many
levels beyond academics. He is able to evoke from his students
a genuine concern and passion for learning that other profes-
sors fail to do. Lauren Sey fried, A&S V8

Professor Jacobs

Professor Jacobs is definitely one of the most dedicated and
hardworking professors at BC. He is incredibly conscientious,
always preparing flawless, captivating lectures that actually
make students want to go to class every time. Professor Jacobs
is also one of the most helpful professors I've had. He does all
he can to have as many office hours as possible, or to find out-
side times to meet with students, even setting up shop in the
Chocolate Bar once a week. Also, as anyone who has taken
one of his classes knows, Professor Jacobs is incredibly hilari-
ous. Professor Jacobs epitomizes what a great professor should
be. Lauren Zaccone, A&S V8

Professor Himes

Father Kenneth Himes is a Franciscan, and he lo\es to
joke that the Jesuits think theyre doing affirmative action
bv hiring him. Father Himes teaches undergraduate and
graduate classes in the Theology Deaprtment. I had Father
Himes for a professor for a class called The Moral Dimen-
sion of the Christian Life. Father Himes told us to approach
the class as time each week to reflect on how your life is
going. He does not simply preach his \ lews about morality
instead he gi\es students the tools the) need to develop their
own views about what morals and values are important to
them. Father Himes is one o\ the best professors I have had
at Boston College. Jenm Kasyan, \\ S 7, f->

First and foremost, we are students at Boston College. At least that is what the faculty
and administration and certainly our parents would like us to believe. And for some
time, we agree. Students at Boston College spend many hours each week in class
and spend a lot of quality time studying (or cramming) at O'Neill and Bapst Libraries. Our
majors and GPAs and transcripts are all very important to us. Still, we are also well aware
that our time outside of the academic realm is equally as valuable to our collegiate experi-
ence. In addition to the incredible commitments we make to our academic goals and our
extra-curricular activities, we all manage to find the time to be college students. And what
exactly does this mean? Life on a day to day basis at Boston College is probably similar to
the life experienced by students at college campuses all across the country. However, there
are certainly a few things that set us apart from the rest. We have attended Homecoming in
the rain, we proudly wear bright yellow t-shirts and we actually want to eat in a place called
"The Rat." While these things make the Boston College experience unique, we also happily
put our own spin on common milestones such as Parents' Weekend, living in dorms, making
fashion statements, entering college for the first time at Convocation and the thrill of turn-
ing twenty-one. From common Saturday afternoon shopping trips on Newbury Street to
trying to find a table at Roggies for Friday happy hour to parties in the Mods and the famous
Gasson bells, the pages that follow depict the lives of students at Boston College. Though
we all may have unique experiences on the Heights, we share the common bond of a love
"For Boston." It is here at Boston College that we develop strong friendships that will be
with us for many years to come. With our friends, we attend lectures, concerts and tailgates;
we cheer with hundreds of other students in the Superfan sections of Alumni Stadium and
Conte Forum; we study, volunteer, perform, workout and
party. Most importantly, it is with our friends that we
make the memories of live at Boston College that will be
talked about many years from now when we return for
the Heights for one more tailgate on Shea Field. With-
out a doubt, we all leave Boston College with a lasting
impression of some of the best years of our lives. Marisa

One of the most exciting and tun times at Boston College is
the tailgating before the home football games. Tailgating is
allowed in the William J. Fl\ nn Fund parking lots .is well .is
Shea Field. Students and alumni come from all over campus and all
over the countr) in order to tailgate and see the amazing games. This
year, for the first time m Boston College's history, FSPVs Game I
broadcasted from the Dustbowl tor the Florida State game. This was
a momentous and exciting occasion tor BC students who all showed
their support by going to the Dustbowl with signs and screams on
that rainy afternoon. This year served as Boston College's firsl >ear
in the ACC. and with that, came some new policies tor tailgating.
Although you have always needed to have a ticket to get onto Shea
Field, this year a hole needed to he punched in the ticket in order to
be admitted and to prevent readmission onto Shea Field The long
lines caused a longer wait to be admitted onto the field. However, the
wait is well worth the fun that comes with tailgating. In addition,
campus parking lots opened two ami halt hours prior to the game
and Shea Field opened two hours before the game. Tailgaters were
also told to leave tailgating about thirt\ minutes before kick off.
One reason tor this was to have better attendance o\ Superfans at
kick off. Alumni presence is \er\ big during tailgating ami football
games. Sophomore. Adele Beck man. can testif) to this based on the
FSU came. She said, Ah brothers graduated from Boston College
ill 1998 and 2000 and the) came from New York and San DiegOJUSt
to tailgate before game. Some of their friends also came all the wa\
from places like Chicago and Florida to tailgate and then venture
into the Boston bars to watch the game.'' Alumni are obviousl) \er\

^■^ The Beginning Of a Great Tradition *

Last years Academic Convocation marked the beginning of a new tradition here at
BC. The class of 2009 was welcomed into Boston College with a speaker. A trumpet
sounded and the blessing of the torches took place. The procession then began going
down Linden Lane, around Gasson. through the quad, between O'Neill Plaza and Devil,
down Hiscins stairs and into Conte Forum. Senator Barack Obama shared his ideas and
views on issues and problems throughout the world, leaving an impact on those who joined
him in Conte Forum on Friday. September 16, 2003 during the Second Annual First Year
Academic Convocation. Obama centered his speech on his 1995 autobiography Dreams From
My Father during the Convocation. The class of 2009 was asked to read and reflect on the
book over the summer. Sophomore Francesca Erts reflects on his speech. "It was great to
have such an influential speaker come to BC and talk to the student body! 1 Barack Obama
tried to pass on the importance of empathy and understanding of others through their times
of need despite their race, heritage, or any other factors. He started his focus on the situa-
tion of those suffering and in need due to the tragedies brought on by Hurricane Katrina.
One could clearl) see the havoc that the storm brought to mam areas o\~ the nation, but the
damage and upheaval in the victim's li\es were rooted much more deepl) than that brought
on by Mother Nature. Obama stressed the importance of helping others at am point in their
lives if one could clearl) see the need and suffering o\~ those around oneself. Coming from
a diverse background. Obama could see that main issues of race, identity And eommunit\
stem from the lack of understanding and communication
between people in the nation and around the globe, Ovei

the importance of tolerance ami understanding oi others m

Visiting Students

The Effects of Hurricane Katrina

In the fall of 2005. the United States suffered a devastating natural disaster.
Hurricane Katrina. The Hurricane, which hit the Gulf Coast, forced man)
to evacuate their homes and towns and seek shelter elsewhere. Some were
moved into the Superdome only to be transported soon after to new locations
like the Houston Astrodome. Thousands of lives were lost and main were left
stranded in the aftermath of flooding with no food, water or shelter. The hur-
ricane was a shock to the millions watching and the country was more than
willing to help out including Boston College. With the help of the community
BC. like many other schools, participated in taking in students from Tulane
University and Loyola University in New Orleans Boston College took in
about 150 students from the schools and enrolled them in the Woods Col
of Advancing Studies. Main of the students were housed in St Williams' Hall
on BC's Brighton Campus. Boston College was more than happ> to help out
with this cause b\ uniting these students into the community n Col-

lege set out to help in other ways as well. During the B< > s \rm\ football
game, a special collection was taken to help the hurricane victims. With the
help of the Red Cross. BC also hosted a blood drive earlier in the \car where
people were more than willing to participate. While the QulfCoasI continues

ALC Boat Cruise

An Evening On the Water and Under the Stars

Once again the annual ALC Boat Cruise sold out to an eager crowd of 600 people within just
four hours of going on sale. On Friday, September 23, 2005, students, administrators, and fac-
ulty alike went to this semi-formal evening on the Spirit of Boston, which left Boston Harbor
and cruised along the Charles River until the early morning. The event was indefinitely successful
with people enjoying themselves on all four floors of the boat. The night consisted of dancing and
socializing as well as delicious food and a wonderful turnout. The Public Relations Director of ALC,
Akim St. Omer '06 claimed, "It's always good to see everyone get dressed up for the Boat Cruise. The
night was exactly the night like I imagined it to be - a wide array of people from all years, all races,
and all social circles living it up together. The Boat Cruise was a blast." The AHANA Leadership
Council (ALC) gives students of all different cultures a chance to celebrate diversity and to meet new
people in a classy environment with good food and good music. The ALC focuses on improving the
quality of life for AHANA students, and dedicates itself to the value of diversity at Boston College
and the foundation of equality among all students of all races and cultures, reflecting the Jesuit ideal.
The ALC Boat Cruise is one of the most anticipated and successful events that ALC holds each year,
and will inevitably be a success for years ahead. Vy Vy Vo

Parents' Weekend

Bringing Families to the Heights

Parents' Weekend started off on September 30th with the onslaught of
curious and loving parents going to classes with their children from
9AM to 5PM. Faculty seminars were also given in Robsham Theater mi
topics such as nanoscience (the study and manipulation of matter on an almost
inconceivably small scale), liberal arts education (and how n is implemented
at BC to help students create positive changes at home and elsewhere), and
the role of faith in the students' lives at the university. In the afternoon Wil-
liam R Leahy, the President o\~ Boston College, shared his perspectives on the
university tor the first time ever outside on Bapst Lawn. The undergraduate
research poster session went on in Higgins for biology, physics, geology and

geophysics related topics, while research Findings in chemistry were displayed
in Merkert. Later into the day, the 13th annual Pops on the Heights Scholar-
ship Gala was held at Conte forum. A eappella groups performed throughout
the night until the opening of the concert, in which Keith l.ockhart conducted
the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra and the Boston College University Cho-
rale lor a performance of a wide variet) o\ classical and popular music On
Saturday, October 1st. the football team went hcad-to-hcad against Ball State
University. A grand total of 40,162 tans, including Students, parents, alumni.
and visitors, packed the sl.iiuls with their overflowing energy In the end.

Boston College shut out Ball State University with a satisfying final score

; ^ 0, lca\ ing shouts of happiness ringing throughout the stadium. The event-
ful weekend came to a close on Sunday October 2nd. with a fa mi I) liturg>
in O'Neill Pla/a where more than 3,000 students, parents, and members
the BC Community were present. Parent's weekend had come and gone once
again, leaving a mark on the whole community. Julie Oh

The crashing of cymbals, the high trills o\ the violins, and the
soaring voices of powerful voices combined together is a sight
to behold. Even alone, the different sounds coming from instru-
ments and vocalists have the power to move those watching and lis-
tening, allowing them to experience the drama and emotions with the
performers themselves. It takes years and \ears of practice to master an
art. but the results coming from hard work and lung grueling hours of
practice are rewarding to performers and audience alike. Boston Col-
lege has all three elements of music under its \er> own roof: its bands,
choirs, and orchestras are all successful entities that help to contribute
to the culture and awareness o\ the beaut) o\ music to others. The con-
certs held by the Cniversit) Chorale ever) >ear are great expenen
to those with a trained ear and also to those who jusl enjo\ music tor
its own sake. The performance at the Newton Trimt\ Chapel o\ Anto-
nio Vivaldis and John Rutter's renditions of the Magnificat gave a rare
opportunity to those who attended to be able to hear different inter-
pretations of the idea that the two composers wanted to come; Boston
College also offers small concerts from independent musicians who just
want to play for fun in a more informal atmosphere. The Chocolate Bar
is one of the few places that hosts such events, a small and intimate
setting where the bands and groupies can get together to have a blast.
The Super Sweet Concert Series this year was one o\ the few exciting
events that went on there. Students are also \er\ conscious o\ the plight
of those in need and use then musical abilities to help those people in
some way. The "Continue to Care"" night was held to help provide relief
for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Not only were the individual tal-
ents of the present musicians able to be appreciated, but a bigger issue
was also able to be made more widel) known and acted upon by th
who attended this benefit concert. Julie Oh

Homecoming

Dancing the Night Away

The Undergraduate Government of Boston College set up this year's Homecoming Week with a
variety of activities planned for the students. A Newton vs. Upper dodgeball tournament was
held (anyone who lives or has lived in either campus was welcome to play) in the Dustbowl, with
the registration fee proceeds going to benefit the Pedro Arrupe Immersion Trips. There was pumpkin
decorating later that week in the Dustbowl, as well as a daisy sale to benefit the victims of Hurricane
Katrina and Harvest Fest, which drew focus on environmental issues. The most anticipated event of
the week was the Homecoming Dance that was held in the Mod Parking Lot. Due to unruly incidents
in previous years, the location of the dance was designated as such instead of being held at places like
the Fairmont Copley and the Park Plaza. Many were disappointed in the lack of space within the tents
that were set up outside for the dance area and in the low numbers of tickets that were available for
purchase - 1,500 tickets sold out in a mere two days for this event. Most of all, the rain put a damper
on many students' moods as many items got wet throughout the night as well as the disorganization
at the end of the dance for the retrieval of coats in the coat check area. However, many students still
seemed to have a good time in the company of good friends despite the many drawbacks to this out-
door setup. The evening was a success, in which students enjoyed dressing up and dancing. Students
look forward to more improvements for next year's Homecoming. Julie Oh

The students at Boston College appear to be at the top end of the
long list of colleges across the nation as being one of the fittest.
This was reflected in the September 15 edition of the Heights,
where it was stated that Boston College ranked 11th in Men's Fitness
Magazines Poll of America's Fittest Colleges. The Hex, which stands on
a total of 293.000 square feet, is at the center ot the hub oft all this high-
energy madness, constantly teeming with health-conscious members ot
the BC community. It contains an 1/8 mile indoor track, indoor/outdoor
tennis courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, squash cour:
quetball courts, an X-lane. 25-yard lap pool, and a diving pool to name
a few. The Fitness Center, a facility within the Plex, offers a variety if
aerobic and resistance equipment. Many people throughout the da) can
be seen using the 75 aerobic machines, the 25 Nautilus and Bod) Master
strength training machines, and a new line o\ free weighl equipment.
For those that don't have the time to commit to a varsitv sport, club
and intramural sports are available at different points of the year. Club
teams that are available at BC are crew, cycling, equestrian, field hockey,
figure skating, golf, karate, lacrosse. ru<:bv. running, ski & snowboard,
soccer. Special Olympics, volleyball, and water polo. Club teams are
generally more intense than intramural teams, which are more laid back
and have more flexible scheduling. The available intramural sports are
softball. football, volleyball, racquetball. soccer, basketball, tennis, ice
hockey, wiffleball, and futsal. For those who want to choose different
workouts each week, group workouts are available each day including

The Class of '09: Talons of Fury..Get Ready!

spending the past four years with the same people everyday it is finally
time for students to venture o\\~ into a new world. From recei\ ing accep-
tance letters in Ma> until the) are allowed to move into their dorms in Sep-
tember, students are anticipating the kind of excitement and new expenen
that college will present to them. Once stopping fool onto their new home,
be it Upper or Newton Campus, students are forced to quickl) adapt to their
surroundings and begin the next chapter o\ their h\cs. Meeting people and
creating friendships is one o\ the major tasks in the beginning ol freshmen
year. Students continuously introduce themselves, ask where others are from.
ask about majors, or hope to find some sort ol similarity that will help form a
friendship. Classes also serve as a great place to meet people Vssumir

IOX Student Life

For man>. sophomore year serves as an exciting time in the college
experience. As sophomores, they have taken in their freshman
familiarity and expanded it. At the end of freshman year the)
have decided who and where to live so even moving in is fun. They
now get to live with their closest friends and build on those relation-
ships. They have had a year of college already so they know what to
expect. For the most part, sophomores have figured out how to balance
school work, friends, and fun. They know their way around campus,
know the best time to eat. know how the buses work and how to
around Boston and the surrounding areas. With the fun ami com tort o\
sophomore year also comes some stress. For those without four years
of housing, they must begin finding people and a place to live tor the
following year. Also, for the many who wish to go abroad, they must
begin preparing for that. During sophomore year, students must declare
a major. For some this causes problems because they must really think
about the direction their life is headed in. But. in the end. sophomore
year serves as one of the most popular among students. Despite the
pressures it brings, sophomores have it pretty easy. They are living with
friends, getting their work done, and having fun in between. With two
years left at school, sophomores are lucky to be so adjusted so they can
make the most out of their time left. Adele Bcckman

Juniors

Taking Off from the Heights

With only two years left at Boston College, juniors are sure to make the best of their time.
This is the year when the class is separated the most compared to any other year because a
majority of students are either off-campus or studying abroad. For some, they are enjoying
another year living on campus. For others, they are enjoying the beginning of the real world, having
to pay bills and experience off-campus living along such streets surrounding BC such as Comm. Ave.,
Sutherland, and Foster Street. But, no matter where people are living, students are sure to be having
fun. Juniors are finally upperclassmen and enjoying the perks that come with that. For many juniors,
it is an exciting year because they will turn twenty-one. With this new age students are finally allowed
into Maryanne's and other bars in the Boston area. Junior year is full of new experiences. Living off
campus, taking a semester or year abroad, attempting to fulfill majors and minors, and beginning
to think about graduate school are all things that come with junior year. Students must also begin
preparation for senior year. They are fortunate to get good registration times and anticipate living in
the Mods (if they are so lucky). After already becoming more acquainted with life at Boston College
for the past two years, juniors take it upon themselves to consider their future plans more seriously.

SENIORS

Fly Like an Eagle

Thinking back on senior year of high school, it is hard to imagine how one ended up so
quickly in senior year of college. After deciding to attend Boston College, students are
excided to begin a new part of their life away from home and on their own but at the
same time they must adjust to the new world of college. In September 2002. students arrive on
their first college campus having no idea what lies ahead. Moving into their first dorm room,
meeting their roommate, learning the ropes of the campus are just a few of the things learned
within the first week. Students must venture onto the campus and find the right class in the
right room in the right building. They were forced to interact and make connections to find
new friends. Students were met with new challenges and adventures like exploring Cleveland
Circle, Comm. Ave. and even Boston. Life seemed a little easier after that initial year. Students
had their friends and knew how to make use of their time. Some of students' fondest memories
are football games. Whether afternoon or evening games, students love taileatine on Shea Field
in their Superfan shirts and painted faces. The excitement and energy of the student section
at the football games will always be remembered. This \ ear's class got to experience BC's first
year in the ACC. For some, this served as one of the best things to happen to Boston College.
Students have grown over the past four years in more ways than one. Whether going on sen ice
trips or just volunteering, students were always sure to give back to the BC community While
at BC. students have learned more about themselves and who they want to be. Graduation is just
around the corner and students are slowly being introduced to the "real world!" However, before
they go. they will recall their four years spent in Chestnut
Hill. The friends, the places, and the experiences will always
be a part of them. Boston College has helped students find
themselves. The lessons they've teamed will now cans over

into the next stage of their lives. So. as the next chapter of life
is about to start, remember all that has been accomplished
anil learned in these four years. Keep a piece of Boston Col-
lege with you where ever you go and remember to always "H>
Like an Eagle!' AdeJe Beekman, Photos submitted b) Saman-

Dining Halls

A Place of Socializing and Food

One thing students could not survive without at college is food. Here at Boston
College, students are fortunate enough to have numerous places to dine depend-
ing on what they are in the mood to eat. Whether it is CameCs (better known
as McElrov). Eagle's Nest. Lower Live, Stuart. "The Rat" in Lvonv Hillside. \dde\ s
or the Chocolate Bar. students are always able to find something to satisf) their crav-
ings. Students also learn the best times to eat to avoid the stampede of hungry students
coming out of class. Depending on the da\ of the week, people know which dining hall
has a delicious special tor that particular day. Whether you want a steak and chc
from Lower Live, turkey and brie from Hillside, the renowned "Late Night* 1 after a
night of studs inc. or Tuscan chicken from Easzle's Nest. B( Dining definite!) knows
how to make some good food. \ new addition this year was the Chocolate Bar in

Appreciating the Boston College Community

The United States from the beginning has been a melting pot of people from all over the
world, never really being able to claim a single race as being the sole representative of
the whole nation. Boston College has been in the same mindset in that it stri\es to rec-
ognize the diversity of the student body and promote the awareness and tolerance of cultures.
Different events are hosted bv the university throimh the constant efforts of the running cultural
clubs on campus. The acronym AHANA stands for individuals who are of African-American.
Hispanic, Asian, or Native American descent. This term was proposed by two students in 1979
in response to the name that was originally used to describe the Office o\' Minority Programs.
They felt that the term 'minority' was degrading because of its literal meaning of "being less
than! After receiving approval from the University's Board of Trustees, the Office of Minor-
ity Student Programs was chanced to the Office of AHANA Student Programs (OASPi. largeh
thanks to the efforts of Alfred Feliciano and Valerie Lewis. OASP today develops, implements,
and coordinates a lot of the cultural events that occur during the year in order to support and
enhance the academic performance of undergraduate AHANA students and increase aware
ness of the AHANA community. Some events that are held include the AHANA Boat Cruis..
the AHANA Leadership Council Retreat, the Black Family Weekend, the Caribbean Culture
Club Service Trip, the Hispanic Alumni Weekend. .lapanimation. Latino Night. OLA \ Vol-
unteer Day and Salsa Nicht. These events are run bv the organizations such as the VHANA
Leadership Council and many other cultural clubs. If one looks at BC toda> one can see men
and women, of all races and religions, working together to
help create a future that it better for all. not just for one spe
cific elite group. The cooperation of all is what will make
the nation a better place to live and much more united in all
fronts, creating a wave of enthusiasm and determination that
will be hard to beat. The interaction of different peoples will
also help open the minds of main to the different options
and opportunities there are available (Hit there if one is brave

Concluding the Semester

That dreaded time of year always rolls around without fail much to the horror and dismay of
many students everywhere, not just those who attend Boston College. Midterms and quizzes in
between are just the beginning. Students can be seen lugging around overstuffed backpacks
weighed down with enough books to equal their own weight. These poor students are usually unfortu-
nate enough to be carrying it up and down the multiple long stairs scattered throughout the campus.
Not only do students have back problems from carrying heavy books around, but some get neck and
back pains from sitting in one place for hours on end, poring over endless pages of notes and chapters.
Many get headaches from trying to learn and memorize all the info that should have been gone over
before, compounded by the dehydration that occurs with massive caffeine intake. Coffee and drinks
such as Red Bull get many students throughout this tough time — never has staying up late been such
so much fun. The library is usually the prime spot for scholars to be at during midterm and finals
weeks. Stress levels run high especially during the preparation for finals due to the huge amount of
material covered and the fact that they are more heavily weighted than other exams. No matter what
the situation, students usually manage to pull themselves together and get through this time with the
help of fellow classmates and available tutors in the Connors Family Learning Center. Julie Oh

Fashion Time

Boston College Students Are Always In Style

It is within people's nature to either try to blend in with the crowd or to stick out, proclaiming
one's different sense of style — either method is used by individuals to express their personali-
ties on many different levels. The usual collared shirts from brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren
and Lacoste were seen frequently throughout the campus. The preppy look never fades away year
after year at Boston College. The usual Ugg boots were seen with slightly different styles (laced up,
trimmed with fur) this winter adding a slight flair to the usual warmth and comfort that is usually
gained from it. Northface jackets and backpacks were also the standard gear that was donned by many
students, men and women alike, as well as Boston College sweatshirts, hoodies, and other clothing
displaying our school pride. No matter what the season, students are able to add accessories or other
personal touches to their outfit to give their appearance a unique air (or just look like everyone else).
From small pins to ribbons, the splash of color or sparkle always manages to give an edge, completing
the outfit. This all depends on the unique taste of the individual however — it takes a good eye to put
articles of clothing together that complement each other well. Julie Oh

The Boston College Theater Department has come a long wa\
since it's opening in 1865. The Theater major was established in
the 197()'s as part of the Department of Speech, Communications
and Theatre. The Rohsham Theater Arts (enter opened only twenty-five
years ago. in 1981. Since then, the program has grown into an indepen-
dent major intended to develop its students intellectually, artistically
and personally The department produces six productions r, four

of which are faculty directed and two which are student directed. The
types of productions each year include musicals, classics as well as an
original student's work. With shows this year including "The Collec-
tion." a raw and menacing psychological drama. "Bat Bov" a classic I
story told as a musical comed>. "Marisoir an apocalyptic urban fant;
"Copenhagen?' an incisive drama and past winner of three Ton) Awards
including best Play, and "Cabaret." the theater program definitely had
a good selection this year. Sophomore. Megan Green, reflects on her
time spent SO far as a theater major: "I hue theater people. The> are
ridiculous and even more hilarious than the average Boston College stu-
dent. Most students here have no idea what great work is going on in
Robsham. I think everyone at BC should be more in touch with their
artistic side, we theater kids sure are." The theater program at BC will
continue to grow and allow students to identif) in new ways with others
and themselves. Adele Beekman

"Spirituality is a way of life that transforms
to a genuine feeling. Only through spiritu-

actions, they show that they lack the truth;
that's something one must seek God fof.'

^^ Attending a Jesuit Institution

Boston College, being a Jesuit University, is focused on fine academics as well as a con-
nection to the Catholic faith. Spirituality is a large part of lite at BC and this is shown
in numerous aspects of the school. The university is fortunate to have about forty-five
Jesuits teaching courses in addition to thirteen with administrative positions. The Jesuit Com-
munity at BC is dedicated to "integrating intellectual, personal, ethical, and religious forma-
tion and to uniting high academic achievement with service to others!' BC upholds these goals
through various ways. First, as part of the core requirement, ever) student must take two semes-
ters of theology. This allows for students to fully relate to and understand their Christian beliefs.
In addition, community service is \er\ popular among students. Main students gel involved in
the community through programs such as PULSE, but others choose and want to take time out
of their lives to volunteer. BC strongly encourages the effort put forth by students to get involved
in community service. BC also upholds the Jesuit tradition by holding various masses through-
out the day in different locations around campus. This makes it more convenient for students
to worship be it on Newton. Upper or Lower campus in the morning or even at night. Finally
BC offers a number of service trips and retreats to students throughout the year. With Campus
Ministry offering retreats such as Kairos and the freshman retreat, it is eas) for students to find
time to reflect on themselves ami their beliefs. In addition, the universit) offers sen ice trips like
Appalachia and Arrupe International Immersion Trips to those students who wish to take their
volunteering outside of the Boston area. These trips also allow students to reflect on the wa>
they're living their lives while simultaneously helping those
less fortunate. Sophomore. Katie Schermerhorn. reflects. "I
like how BC allows students to define their own spirituality
Whether you regularly attend mass, join a service trip, or
enter into a theological conversation, spiritual it) is present
on campus" Spirituality is seen in main ways throughout
BC. The new statue of St. Ignatius put in this fall is onl\ one
wa> that BC shows that spirituality is alive. The Jesuit beliefs
are present now and will continue to be a large part o\ the
tradition here for years to come. Wc/c Beeknuui, Photos b)

Want to learn about a different culture or find other Boston College students that
share your religious beliefs? Want to publish a literary magazine or practice
an instrument with likeminded classmates? Want to volunteer over Spring or
Winter Break or spend time each week helping the city of Boston? No matter what your call-
ing, Boston College helped provide students with diversity experiences as well as chances to
learn more about each other through its plethora of organizations. With over two hundred
registered clubs and student organizations, Boston College has so much to offer to fit every-
one's tastes and opportunities certainly were not limited to the classroom or the athletic
fields. Many of the lifelong memories that students will have of their time at Boston Col-
lege will be of experiences outside the classroom. Students are encouraged to reach beyond
their grasp and develop to their full potential. Following the "community standards" inher-
ent to Boston College's Catholic, Jesuit background, students participate in activities and
learn to become "men and women for others." Members of student organizations are often
faced with the difficult task of balancing their many commitments. Here at Boston College,
the answer to the problem seems to be only to aid more things to do. One would be hard
pressed to find a member of the Boston College community that wasn't active in some way.
Developing our own places in this vast, rich community has allowed each of us to not only
receive something different from our BC experience but also to leave something important
behind for those that follow. Whether it be through community service, musical groups,
spiritual activities or something entirely different, students on the Heights dedicate them-
selves thoroughly to each new endeavor they undertake.
It is often said that the world needs leaders for tomorrow.
Through the organizations they are a part of, the students
who follow on these pages have developed the skills and
qualities that will allow them to provide this leadership.
After making a mark on the Heights, these students are
excited to make an even deeper impression on the world.

A New League is In Town!" So read the banners, bumper stickers, t-shirts and more
that greeted students when we returned to school in September to begin our first
full season as an official member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). With
BIG EAST losses and lawsuits behind us, the entire Boston College community cheered
its varsity athletes on to great success in their new league. Despite a few tough losses, the
football team finished 9- 3 and surprised many of its critics. With a victory over Boise
State in the MPC Computers Bowl, the Eagles won their seventh consecutive bowl game,
currently the most of any school nationwide. While Will Blackmon, Mathias Kiwanuka and
Jeremy Trueblood led the Eagles on the gridiron, Craig Smith and Corey Schneider took
over in Conte Forum. In his senior season, men's basketball captain Smith has learned that
ACC hoops might be even tougher than the BIG EAST. With impressive wins over Virginia
Tech, UNC and Georgia Tech and an incredibly close home game against powerhouse Duke,
Smith and company demonstrated to the pundits that they belonged in their new league.
The women's basketball team refused to be overshadowed as they too had an impressive
campaign as newcomers to the league. When the basketball teams weren't in Conte, things
cooled down with the help of Corey Schneider and the #1 ranked Eagles ice hockey. Though
not affected by the move to the ACC, the Eagles continued to dominate Hockey East as
Schneider wowed the crowd with extraordinary saves and seniors Peter Harrold, Chris Col-
lins and Stephen Gionta helped give leadership to a young team. And though the big three
sports sometimes steal the headlines, all of Boston College's varsity athletes deserve to be
recognized. It is our hope that the following pages give the honor that is rightfully due to
each athlete, both varsity and club. Each athlete on campus makes a decision to participate
in a sport, knowing that this commitment will take time away from other aspects of life at
Boston College. Boston College's athletes practice hard,
play harder, and continue to perform off the field in class.
For these Eagles, college life is about balancing all of
these responsibilities from school to social activities to
sports. In the 2005-2006 season, ahletics at Boston Col-
lege have left an impression on the ACC and on each of its mgmr^2'w/c Coa^t ^ "

Coming off a successful 2004 season, the Eagles had high expectations for their first season in the ACC A final
record of 93, a decisive 37-24 win over North Carolina in the Continental Tire Bowl, and a final ranking of 21 in
the country and 1 in the BIG EAST left the Eagles feeling hopeful for the 2005 season. The loss of quarterback
Paul Peterson left a gap that was quickly filled by senior Quinton Porter. Senior captain Mathias Kiwanuka was named
the ACC Preseason Player of the \ear. BC was predicted to finish second in the ACC Atlantic Division, after Florida State.
In the preseason polls, the Eagles were ranked 22 in the country. The 2005 season started off with a 203 win at Brigham

I Young. Porter opened the season by passing for 232 yards and two touchdowns. Chris Miller was the receiver for both of
the touchdowns. This impressive start was followed by a victory over Army in the first home game of the year. Porter threw
for 206 yards and two touchdowns again, with backup quarterback Matt Ryan throwing for 83 yards in the fourth quarter.
Five different Eagles scored touchdowns in the impressive victory. Much hype surrounded the first game in the ACC for the
Eagles, including ESPN College Gameday being hosted at BC for the first time ever. In their ACC opener, a close played
game was lost 28-17 to Florida State. After falling behind 14-0 early in the first quarter, the Eagles regrouped and found
their offensive game. They responded with 17 points to take the lead from the Seminoles, but were unable to hold it. A field

I goal by Ryan Ohliger and touchdowns by Blackmon and IV Whitworth brought life back into the Eagles, but Florida State
scored 14 more points and secured the victory. The loss prepared the Eagles for their new league and new competition. The
Eagles won their next four games, including three ACC contests. A 16-13 win over Clemson marked the first victory for BC
in the ACC. Matt Ryan made his first start of the season in place of the injured Porter, scoring a touchdown and throwing
for 221 yards. Ryan propelled the Eagles to a 38-0 shutout of Ball state and Porter returned for a 28-17 victory over Virginia.
A comeback 3530 win over Wake Forest continued to streak. After trailing 17-0 at the beginning, BC came back, but was
trailing 30-21 with 3 and a half minutes left. Ryan replaced Porter at this point and was able to complete two touchdown
passes in that time. This victory secured bowl eligibility for the Eagles. A 30-10 loss to powerhouse Virginia Tech ended the
four game winning streak, and was followed by a heartbreaking 16-14 loss to North Carolina, who the Eagles had beaten i
the Continental Tire Bowl in 2004. The team was able to recover from these defeats, and the regular season was finishe
strongly with two victories over ACC opponents. Decisive wins over North Carolina State and Maryland finished out the
season and the Eagles were invited to the MPC Computers Bowl with a regular season record of 83. The MPC Computers
Bowl represented the seventh straight bowl game for the Eagles. Going into the game with the longest current winning
streak in bowl games at five, there was a great deal of pressure to keep the streak alive. Jumping ahead 27-0, the Eagles hel
off the second half surge by Boise State, winning the game 27-21. Matt Ryan completed three touchdown passes and thre
262 yards. Tony Gonzalez caught two touchdown passes, and Will Blackmon received the third touchdown. Ryan Ohliger
kicked two field goals in the victory to secure the win. In the last minute of play, Ryan Glasper intercepted a Boise State pass
in the end zone to save the win for the Eagles. Winning their 6th straight bowl game capped a strong season by the Eagles
and gave them high expectations for 2006.

The men's soccer team had a strong 2004 season
as they left the Big East with a record of 13-5-2.
This earned the team a preseason ranking of
15th in the country. The transition to the ACC was dif-
ficult for the Eagles as they faced better competition.
In the first game of the season, the Eagles jumped out
to an early 1-0 lead, but Fairleigh Dickinson scored two
unanswered goals to secure the victory. The injury of
sophomore offensive standout Charlie Davies during
the game was a great loss. The ACC opener against
Virginia Tech gave the team hope for their inaugu-
ral season. Jamen Amato opened the scoring with his
first goal of the season. Virginia Tech answered with
a goal late in the second half. Goalie Issey Maholo
made five saves in the game, including one in over-
time, to preserve the tie. More success was seen as
BC took on ranked Wake Forest. After falling behind
1-0, Reuben Ayarna connected with Sherron Manswell
for Manswell's ninth goal of the season. Issey Maholo
again preserved the tie through two overtimes as the
Eagles had a confidence boost. Maholo remained the
ACC saves leader as he turned away six shots during
the game. The rest of the ACC season proved tough for
BC as they did not have any victories over ACC oppo-
nents, but the team stayed close in most of the games.
Entering November with a 4-7-2 record, the Eagles
gained valuable experience against tougher opponents
and had high hopes for next season as they adjusted to
the tough ACC competition.

The women's soccer team made the most of their final
season in the Big East in 2004. An overall record of
175-1 and a Big East record of 7- 3-0 gave the Eagles a
final rank as 17th in the nation. With a strong Big East exit,
BC showed they were prepared to move up to the ACC. The
women's soccer team started out the 2005 season with six
straight victories, affirming their preseason rank of 16th in the
nation was not a mistake. The season opener against Boston
University was dominated by BC. Out of their 13 shots, two
found the net as freshman Caroline Walden scored her first
collegiate goal and sophomore Kia McNeill added an insur-
ance goal. This success was mirrored in their next 6 matches
as the Eagles did not allow a goal to be scored against them.
Against teams not in the ACC, the team was undefeated for
the season. New competition from the ACC led to a tougher
schedule of opponents. To begin their ACC season, the Eagles
faced Clemson. After falling behind 1-0 early, the Eagles came
back strongly with goals by Kia McNeill and Katie McGregor
in the second half. Arianna Criscione stopped five shots on
goal and preserved the victory for the Eagles. The women's
soccer team finished the season with a record of 11-4-2 (5-4-1
in the ACC) with 10 shutout victories. Junior Laura Georges
earned a spot on the 2005 All-ACC first team and freshman
Caroline Walden earned a spot on the 2005 All-ACC freshman
team. Finishing the regular season ranked 8th in the country,
the Eagles had high hopes for the ACC tournament, where
they were ranked 5th.

The Women's Cross Country team enjoyed a win-
ning season in 2005, with many athletes setting

Influenced by the leadership of the coaching staff of
Randy Thomas. John Mortimer, Erin O'Reilly, and
Amy Mortimer, the Eagles faced their new ACC foes
with determination, and were successful despite these
challenges. Led by captains Joseph Lesniak and Mark
Alizzi. Boston College welcomed eleven freshmen to
the Men's Cross Country team. Lesniak had a positive
impression of the 2005 team. "Being a part of the BC
cross country team was like being a part of another
family while away from home, a family that I will still
be a part of after graduation," he commented. "It's
also been amazing to see the way the team has pro-
gressed from when I was a freshman, how as a team
we were able to improve as much as we did." Beginning
its season in early September, the Men's team started
by placing fifth of nine teams in the Dartmouth Col-
lege Invitational. The Eagles improved on their previ-
ous season's record, with successes at the Quinnipiac
Invitational in Pennsylvania and the Murray Keating
Invitational in Orono, Maine. In October, BC finished
third of 47 teams in the New England Championship
and ninth at ACC Championships. The team placed
ninth out of 37 teams at the NCAA Northeast Regional
Championship, which was held November 12 at Frank-
lin Park in Boston. The team will train throughout
the year in preparation for the 2006 season.

The Women's Field Hockey team was happy to start the
season on their brand new high-tech astro turf field
this fall. The Eagles received a new home field, com-
plete with bleachers with 750 seat, on Boston Colleges Newton
Campus after playing their home games at a nearby college in
previous seasons. The field hockey team also hired a new head
coach for the 2005 season, Ainslee Lamb. Lamb, the former
head coach at Yale University, brought valuable experience to
Boston College. Head captain Bronwen Kelly and assistant
captains Kristen Madden and Sarah York also provided strong
leadership for the Eagles. The team was eager to build off their
17-6 season last year and happy to have 15 returning varsity
players, including nine starters. The team got off to a great
start with a 3-1 win over Kent State in their first home game
on September 4. 2005. They also won their last home game of
the season, a decisive 4-0 victory over Harvard. In November,
the team went to the Atlantic Coast Conference Field Hockey
Championships. BC went into the event ranked 14th in the
nation, and were seeded fifth. They lost to fourth seeded North
Carolina 2-1, despite dominating play for nearly the whole
game and out-shooting the Tarheels. The team was selected to
play in the 2005 NCAA Field Hockey Championship at Princ-
eton where they were defeated by number 10 Connecticut. The
team finished their season ranked 13th in the nation with a
record of (13-7-0). They were proud to have 5 team members
(Kelly. Madden. Jillian Savoy, Crystal Frates, and Bob Dirks)
named to the Division One Northeast All-Region Team and to
have Madden honored with her second appearance on the first
team of the NFHCA 2005 All-American Field Hockey Team.

The Women's Swimming and Diving team finished last season off
in style by winning their fourth ECAC title. They were happy to
return many of their swimmers for the 2005-2006 season. The
diving team returned only one senior and gained four new freshman,
making for a young and talented group. The team was led by head coach
Tom Groden. The 2005-2006 season marked his 33rd year with the BC
mens and women's programs. The women were also coached by diving
coach Deanna Berswinger and assistant coach Michael Pahorylo. The
Eagles beat Brandeis 157-118 in October. Diver Jennifer Rhines won both
the one meter and three meter events. They also defeated Fordham in
the beginning of November 153-88. Sisters Caroline and Elizabeth Byron
were both members of the winning 400-yard freestyle relay. Caroline

a strong performance at the Nutmeg Invitational. Held in New Haven,
Connecticut at Yale University, the Invitational was the last event of the
fall semester for the women's team. The women did well in the relays
and were happy to finish first and second in the 200-yard free relay. The
team went on a winter training trip to Florida over the break. In the

tured a strong performance by Andrew Faughan who won the 50,
100, and 200-yard freestyle events as well as being on the winning
200 free relay. The men lost to Williams College 166-125. They came
back with a huge win over New Hampshire of 208-70 in November.
The team finished off their first semester competition at the Nutmeg

team completed a winter training session in Tampa, Florida over
break. They also compete throughout the second semester with their
first meet on January 21 and their season continuing until the ACC
Championships in February and the NCAA Zone A Diving Meet in

The 2004-2005 season was a memorable one for the men's
basketball team. They began the season 20-0, finishing
255 and ranked 19th at the end of the 2005 season. The
men's basketball team began the season ranked 11th in pre
season polls and was picked to finish 2nd in the ACC. Craig
Smith was named to the All-ACC preseason first team. The
team jumped out to a 6-0 record at the start of the season, pro-
pelling them into the top 10 in the country. In their first ACC
contest, the team lost a close game to Maryland by a score of
73-71. Trailing 3533 at halftime, the Eagles and Terrapins bat-
tled for the lead throughout the contest, with BC coming up on
the short end. Following their first ACC contest, BC won their
next five games over non-ACC opponents. Their next confer-
ence opponent was Georgia Tech. Craig Smith scored 26 points
to lead the Eagles, but it was not enough to overtake the Yel-
lowjackets, with BC losing 6058. A loss to NC State followed,
but the Eagles then proved they were ready to compete with
their ACC opponents by beating Florida State. Craig Smith had
a doubledouble, scoring 28 points and grabbing 14 rebounds,
while Jared Dudley scored 25 points to lead the Eagles. The
Eagles have remained in the top 15 in national rankings during
the entire season, and looked to improve upon that. After secur-
ing their first ACC win, the Eagles were prepared to face their
new opponents throughout the remainder of the season and
hoped to repeat the success that they had in the 2005 season
again in 2006.

The women's basketball team had a strong 2004-
2005 season, finishing with a record of 20-10.
The loss of seniors Clare Droesch and Jessalyn
Deveny left questions of who would fill in for them
this season. Seniors Aja Parham and Brooke Queen-
ana, as well as junior Sarah Marshall were named
captains of the team for the 2005-2006 season and
immediately set to work to repeat the success seen the
previous year. The Eagles were picked to finish 5th
in the ACC. The first two contests of the year were
won easily. Perennial power Connecticut was the third
opponent of the season, setting the Eagles back with a
60-46 loss. Victories in their next four games brought
the team to their second game against a ranked team,
4th place Ohio State. BC lost a hard-fought game in
overtime 66-61, showing that they were not a team to
be ignored as a threat. The Eagles won their next six
games by large margins as they broke into the rank-
ings, including an upset victory as the 24th ranked
Eagles defeated 14th ranked Stanford. Their next vic-
troy gave Coach Inglese her 350th career victory and
Brooke Queenan was named ACC Player of the Week.
After their early season success, the Eagles began
conference play, losing close games to Maryland, Vir-
ginia Tech, and Duke in their first three ACC games.
The team hoped for greater success against confer-
ence opponents as the season progressed and they got
to play all of the ACC teams.

The Boston College ski team competes in the winter season,
which stretches from mid-January to March. The Ski team
competes in Giant Slalom and Slalom events throughout
the winter, primarily in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Ver-
mont. In September, Boston College announced that it had hired
a new head coach, Peter Endres, to lead the men's and women's
ski programs. Endres had a memorable skiing career himself as
captain of the Williams College ski team and two-year captain
of the Ephs ski team. The BC ski team opened its season at the
UConn Carnival located in Cranmore, New Hampshire on Janu-
ary 13th. Only the giant slalom races were held, as inclement
weather forced the cancellation of the slalom races on the 14th.
The men finished fourth, placing six skiers in the top 25. Andy
Wallman led the Eagles with a seventh place finish and Greg
Avallon followed in eighth place. The women's team opened their
season at the UConn carnival with an impressive second place
finish. They were edged out by Boston University which won
with a total combined time of 226.88 seconds - about a quarter
of a second faster than Boston College's team total of 227.14. The
women placed three skiers in the top six; Courtney Wilson was
fourth, Courtney Culnane was fifth, and Courtney Hollis fin-
ished sixth. Coach Endres was happy to see a consistent, strong
opener. The team hopes to have great success throughout the
season.

A strong 2004-2005 season for the men's hockey team fea-
tured a 26-7-7 record and both the regular season and
tournament titles for Hockey East. While this success was
exciting, the loss of 10 seniors from the team left some questions
about the depth of the team. Prior to the season, Peter Harrold
was named team captain, and Stephen Gionta and Chris Collins
were named assistant captains. The team began the 2005-2006
season with a record of 16-4-2. A 3-2 loss to Michigan started
the season for the Eagles, followed by a decisive 9-6 victory over
Bowling Green. A 10-game streak without a loss was seen in
the middle of the season as the Eagles saw more and more sue
cess. The season began with a lot of close won or lost games, but
progressed to one with bigger and bigger margins between the
scoring for the teams. Wins were recorded over rivals Boston
University and Providence College as the Eagles soared up the
rankings. Any questions after the loss of so many seniors the
previous season were erased as the Eagles stayed comfortably
within the top 10 in rankings throughout the season. Nathan
Gerbe, Tim Filangieri, and Benn Ferriero were named Hockey
East's rookie of the week. Chris Collins was named Hockey East
Player of the month for December, and player of the week several
times during the season. Joe Pearce and Cory Schneider were
named defensive player of the week. 2006 was also an impor-
tant year for BC hockey alumni, as former players Brian Gionta
and Bill Guerin were both named to the U.S. Olympic Men's Ice
Hockey Team for the 2006 Olympics. With many achievements
for both current and past men's hockey team members, the 2006
season was full of excitement as well success.

The women's hockey team came into the 2005-2006 season
looking for a fresh start after posting a 10-20-4 record
in the 2004-2005 season. Sarah Courtney and Alison
Quandt were selected as co-captains, and Nancy Gillis was
named assistant captain of the team. The women's hockey team
began the season with a record of 12-7-4, and 11-2-1 in conference
play. The first game of the season was a 43 overtime victory
over Quinnipiac. Meghan Fardelmann scored the first goal for
the Eagles, followed quickly by a goal by Sarah Feldman. Deb
Spillane then scored the next two goals to secure the victory and
Alison Quandt stopped 22 shots. A string of overtime ties fol-
lowed, as the Eagles battled tough opponents. The Eagles then
put together six straight victories to improve their record and
confidence. In February, the women's hockey team captured its
first-ever Beanpot championship, defeating Harvard 2-0 in the
finals on two goals by Spillane. Spillane was named player of
the week and Hockey East's Player of the month for October.
Becky Zavisza was named Hockey East's Rookie of the month for
November and December was named rookie of the week several
times. Quandt was named goaltender of the week several times
and was Hockey East's Goaltender of the month for December.
Johanna Ellison was named defensive player of the week for her
goaltending efforts. In addition to the team members winning
honors, assistant coach Katie King was named to the Olympic
Team for women's hockey for the third time. With many acco-
lades during the season, the women's team hoped to continue its
winning streak and have a successful season.

The women's volleyball team had their best season
to date in 2004, finishing 20-12. This marked the
first time that BC volleyball registered 20 wins in
a season. The transition to the ACC was not expected to
be easy as the team was picked to finish 11th in the ACC
for the 2005 season. However, the team was not discour-
aged and began the season strongly. Starting the season
against NCAA defending champion Stanford, the Eagles
were shut out, but showed improvement as the match
progressed. A tough schedule saw the team coming up
short in many close matches. In their first ACC match,
the Eagles faced undefeated Maryland. The Eagles won
the first game of the match on a kill by Tori Thompson.
Maryland then came back and took the next three games.
Even with the defeat, it was clear that the women's volley-
ball team was ready to play with the top teams and would
not go quietly. Many tough matches against perennial
ACC powers saw BC losing close games and ultimately,
matches as well. The Eagles went into November with a
record of 6-17. Against non-ACC opponents the team was
5-4, showing that the adjustment to the new competition
was a difficult one. Although the season was not the most
successful, a young BC team learned a lot from the other
teams and was able to improve throughout the season
as they became more confident in their new league. The
team hopes that the experience in the 2005 season would
better prepare them for the future against top-ranked
teams in the ACC.

Championships held at MIT with a total of 68 victories
at the meet. The team's final competition was the NCAA
regionals in New York City where two fencers made it to
the round robin final; Steve Koza in saber and Jon Tong in
epee. Captains Genevieve Peeples and Tiffany White led
the women's team. The women competed at the Northeast
Conference Meet, defeating Smith, Brandeis, Brown, and
Dartmouth and a losing to MIT . White led the Eagles
winning 11 of her 12 matches. In February the team went
15 in a two-day meet in Cambridge held at Harvard and
MIT. The women finished their dual meet season with a
strong performance at Tufts University where they won all
of their matches against Massachusetts, Wellsley, and New
Hampshire. The women earned second in their conference,
finishing 9-1. The team competed at the New England Col-
legiate Championships where they had 77 wins. The wom-
en's final competition was the NCAA Regionals in March.
Three Eagles finished in the top 20; White, Clara Yum, and

The mens baseball team completed the 2005 spring
season with the highest number of wins in program
history, finishing the season with a 37-20 record.
The Eagles were happy to improve upon their 32-27 record
in the 2004 season. The Eagles were honored for their
accomplishments by being named Division I New Eng-
land Baseball Team of the Year. The team was run by head
coach Peter Hughes, assistant coaches Mikio Aoki, Steve
Englert, and Peter Pasquarosa. The Eagles also benefited
from the leadership of captains Dave Preziosi and Jason
Delaney. Their team opened the season in February with a
loss to Vanderbilt. The team quickly came back with mul-
tiple wins throughout the spring. Early in the season the
Eagles went to Ft. Myers to play the World Champion Red
Sox in their annual exhibition game. BC first competed
against the Red Sox in 1916 and have played them every year
since 1993. Although the team lost 115 this year and have
yet to beat the Sox, it is a tradition that the players look for-
ward to every year. The Eagles finished second in the Big
East regular season standings. They made it to the Big East
Baseball Championship, but were eliminated by Pittsburgh
in a 12 inning game. Several team members received per-
sonal honors. BC had 5 players selected for Major League
Baseballs Amateur Draft in June. They were also proud to
have seniors Jason Delaney, Joe Matinez, and Mike Wlo-
darczyk named All-New England. The team is looking for-
ward to continued improvement and new challenges in the
2006 baseball season when they will make the move to the
Atlantic Coast Conference.

The 2005 season was a rebuilding year for the
Boston College women's softball team. They fin-
ished their last season in the BIG EAST confer-
ence with an overall record of 20-25 and were 6-10 in
conference play. The team began their season with away
games against tough opponents in warm climates, estab-
lishing a 9-13 record. In their first game back in Boston,
the Eagles won a 10-1 game over BU and also saw fur-
ther success in their first home games, a pair of 4-1
victories over Connecticut. The end of the season was
marked by several close and disappointing losses, includ-
ing a split doubleheader with Notre Dame that keep their
playoff hopes alive, and losses to Pittsburgh and UMass
Amherst. However, the team bounced back to win their
final two games against Dartmouth, ending their season
on a positive note. Sophomore Britney Thompson was
honored as the BIG EAST pitcher of the week following
her seven-inning shutout against Dartmouth. It was her
third shutout of the season. The Eagles also had two play-
ers named to the All-BIG EAST team. Sophomore Ashley
Obrest, a utility player, was named to the second team
and Kimmy Hopkin, a junior outfielder, was named to
the third team. Head coach Jennifer Finley recruited a
talented new class of players for the 2006-2007 season,
which was encouraging for the future of the softball pro-
gram. The team will open the 2006 season in Tulsa, OK
against Louisiana Monroe and will have their first home
game against Sacred Heart. The softball team looked
forward to new challenges and further improvements as
it entered its first year in the ACC.

After establishing a 15-6 record in the 2003-2004 season, the
best year in Boston College women's tennis history, the team
entered the 2004-2005 season ranked 59th nationally. Play-
ers Szilvia Szegdi and Nida Waseem each earned preseason national
rankings of 84 and 114 respectively from the ITA, which ranks the
top 125 collegiate players in the preseason. The team was led by head
coach Nigel Bentley in his fifth year with the women's tennis program
after coaching the men's program for four years. Captains Morgan
Landes and Nida Waseem headed up the squad which returned six
letter-winners from the previous season. The team struggled through
injuries in the beginning of the season. In the fall, they competed in
the William and Mary Invitational, the USTA Invitational, and the ITA
Easter Regional Women's Championships. The team resumed play in
the spring season with a loss in their season opener to Oregon in the
first round of the Minnesota Court Classic at the end of January. The
team dropped the consolation match against Minnesota. The team
bounced back in February with a 43 victory over Columbia in the
home opener followed by another home win over Cornell. After a dis-
apointing loss to Notre Dame, the team went on a six game winning
streak. Near the end of the season the team beat Syracuse 6-1. However
they were not as successful against them in the Big East tournament
in April. BC, seeded second, lost to Syracuse (seeded third) in the
first round of play. They lost to St. John's in the consolation match and
finished fourth overall in the Big East, ending with an 11-11 record.
Waseem and Gia Nafarrete earned all-Big East Tournament Honors
for their play in the tournament. The Eagles earned 2005 ITA Divi-
sion I All-Academic Team Honors, and Amy Molden, Szgedi, Lindsey
Nash, and Caitlin Arnould earned individual scholar-athlete honors.
The team will move into the ACC in the 2005-2006 season.

he men's tennis team plays primarily in the spring
season but also had events during the fall. The
2004-2005 season marked head coach Scott
Wilkins' second year with the Boston College tennis
program. Assistant coach Todd Champeau joined the
team for his first year. Senior captains Derrick Chou
and Chris McCoy provided strong leadership for the
Eagles. The team finished out their regular season play
in mid-April with a win over Big East opponent Rutgers,
establishing an overall record of 11-11 and a 3-1 record
in conference play. They earned the second seed in the
Big East Tournament but then lost to third-seeded Rut-
gers. They went on to drop the consolation match against
St. John's 43 to finish with a season record of 11-13 and
fourth in the Big East. Boston College sophmore Soma
Kestheley earned All-Big East Tournament Honors for his
strong performance at the Big East tournament. Kesth-
ley primarily played number one singles, and he led the
team with twenty victories throughout the season. He
had an overall winning percentage of .586. The tennis
team is looking forward to more great tennis competition
as they move into the ACC for the 2006 season.

The 2005 season was a season of improvement for the
women's lacrosse team. An overall record of 10-7-0
showed the success achieved in the season, espe-
cially at home, where the team went 7-1-0. This marked the
first time in 13 years that the women's lacrosse team won 10
games in a season. For the first time since joining the BIG
EAST, the Eagles were invited to the ECAC Championship,
where they lost to a strong UConn team by a score of 9-1.
While the game was close early, the Huskies pulled away on
their way to victory. While they lost, the women's lacrosse
team was pleased with the accomplishment of making it to
the ECAC tournament. Graduated seniors Suzie Breaznell
and Carley St. Lucia were both named to the All-BIG EAST
first team, and Jackie Yovankin was named to the second
team. The loss of Breaznell, St. Lucia, Yovankin, and
Courtney Legath left a large gap in the offense that was
quickly filled by younger players. Seniors Elizabeth Kadi-
son, Alana Vivolo, and Brooke Wilson were named captains
for the 2006 team. In 2006, the team will face a mixture
of opponents from the ACC and from non-conference play.
Following their success in 2005, the women's lacrosse team
hoped to continue improving and have a winning season
in their new league. Since many schools in the ACC have
strong lacrosse programs, the women's lacrosse team will
be facing a new level of opponent, so it will be a learning
experience as they face their new competition.

The Sailing team is active almost all year long. The
sailors compete in both the spring and fall seasons.
The fall season consists of mostly fleet racing, and
the spring season is mainly team racing. The sailors usu-
ally sail 420s but also compete in FJs and Lasers. The team
competes in the women's division as well as the co-ed divi-
sion. After a dissapointing spring season in 2005, the team
bounced right back for a spectacular 2005 Fall season. On
October sixth, the co-ed team was named the number one
team in the country, according to Sailing World. They main-
tained that ranking throughout fall and finished as the top
collegiate team in the country. Head Coach Greg Wilkinson
brought in a talented new class of freshman this year, who
contributed greatly to BC's success this fall. The freshman
won the Nickerson Invitational in October and went on to win
the Atlantic Coast Championship for the second year in a row
at Brown University. The Women's team started their seson at
the Yale Women's Intersectional on the tenth. They finished
seventh at the Urn Trophy and earned at national ranking of
13th. The women also qualified for and finished 11th at the
Atlantic Coast Championship, which were held at Coast Gaurd.
The Co-ed team won six intersectionals this fall. They hosted
and finished second at the Norm Reid Invitational, in honor
of former BC sailing coach and father of current sailor, Alden
Reid. They placed fourth at the Atlantic Coast Championship
at St. Mary's. The team is looking forward to continued suc-
cess in the 2006 spring season.

At the BIG EAST championships, the team finished 10th,
with 5th place finishes from Frank DiVittorio in the 800
meters and Jeremy Zagorski in the 1,500 meters. Look-
ing for improvement in 2006, the men's team started off the
season with an 80-63 win over Harvard. BC won 11 of 17 events,
including two first place finishes from Patrick Mellea. In their
second meet, the Eagles fell to Sacred Heart and Boston Univer-
sity in the Boston University Tri-Meet. Mellea, Sebastian Mans-
son, and Benjamin Kocarnik all claimed first place finishes for
the Eagles. Mellea won the 1,000 meters, Mansson won the 400
meters, and Kocarnik finished first in the pole vault. In their next
meet, the Eagles finished fourth, with Mellea again collecting a
pair of first place finishes, in the 800 and 1,000 meters, and the
4x800-meter relay team also claimed first place. At the Reebok
Boston Indoor Games, the men finished in seventh place. Mellea
won the mile, and Dan Springer took third. Dan Lafave won the
800 meters, and the men's distance medley team won first place.
At the Valentine Classic, the Eagles saw further succecss as a
team. Josh Springer finished fourth in the 800 meters, while
LaFave won the 500 meters, with Mansson and Jeff Klatsky fin-
ishing third and fourth. Percy AddoYobo finished third in the
triple jump and Kocarnik was third in the pole vault. While they
had a rough start to the season, continued improvement was seen
throughout the season as the Eagles captured more victories in
a variety of events.

For the women's track team, the 2004-2005 season
was a great success. The Eagles finished 5th in
the BIG EAST championships, a large jump from
the 11th place finish seen the year before. The 4x800-
meter relay team broke the BC record for fastest time at
the championship. After this marked improvement, the
Eagles went into the 2005-2006 season with high expec-
tations. In their first meet of the season, the women's
team lost to Harvard 46-80. Anne Hessberg and Jess
Flinn finished first and second in the mile run for the
Eagles, and Alison Fogarty won the 400 meters. In the
field events, Jessica Fazekas, Chelsea Jones, and Stepha-
nie Ho finished first, second, and third in the shot put.
In their second meet, the Eagles finished second at the
Boston University Quad Meet behind Boston Univer-
sity. Fogarty won the 500-meter dash and Flinn won the
1.000 meters. Katherine Sherman was victorious in the
55-meter hurdles. In the high jump, the Eagles took the
top three places, and also won the pole vault and shot put.
In their third meet, the women's track team placed first
out of four teams, winning 12 events in the process. This
early success showed strong potential for the remainder
of the season as the team continued to improve and win
more events.

The Women's Golf team was under the leadership of head coach
Trevor Drum and assistant coach Peter Powers for the second
year in a row. The team competes in tournaments in both the
fall and spring seasons. In the 2004-2005 spring season the Eagles
finished tenth at the Lady Hoya Invitational in April. Katie Napleton
led Boston College with a 26th place overall finish. The team came
in 12th at the Bonnie Hoover Invitational in Harrisonburg, V\. Naple-
ton, who was the top golfer in every spring event for Boston College,
placed 21st overall. BC finished the season with a fourth place finish
at the conference tournament at Notre Dame. Napleton finished with
an 86 to place ninth overall. All three senior captains had strong
finishes to end their golf careers at Boston College: Moira O'Connell
finished 10th with an 87, Tiffany Werig placed 15th with an 89, and
Elizabeth Callery placed 17th with a 91. Elizabeth Friel also scored
for the Eagles. The 2005-2006 team was young after loosing all three
senior captains from last year. Led by senior Elizabeth Friel, the
team was rounded out by two freshman and three sophomores. The
underclassmen stepped up to the plate and made great contributions
in the fall season. The women opened their season with a thirteenth
place finish at the Notre Dame invitational. Laura Smilnak was the
top BC finisher at 26th place overall. On September 17 and 18 the
team competed at the Dartmouth Invitational and came in seventh.
Freshman Emily Cannon was the top BC golfer, coming in tied for
tenth place followed by sophomore Courtney Tincher who finished
17th. The team finished third at the Tribe Intercollegiate tournament
in Williamsburg, VA. Cannon was once again the top Eagle with a
even par 72 which included 5 birdies. The team is looking forward to
a strong showing in the 2005-2006 spring season.

The 2004-2005 mens golf team finished strong,
despite being a rather young squad. In April,
the team went to the 2005 Big East Champi-
onships at Notre Dame. The tournament, which was
supposed to be 54 holes, had to be shortened to 18
holes due to severe weather. Boston College finished
fourth, led by freshman Jim Granello who finished
fifth overall with an eight over par. Kyle Kelly and
Jim Roney tied for 16th place. The team earned a
spot in the East Regionals in May, which BC had not
been to since 1995. The squad was also proud to
have Alex Snickerbacker named to the New England
All-region Team over the summer. The 2005-2006
fall season marked the team's eighth year under the
leadership of head coach Trevor Drum. It was the
second year for assistant coach Peter Powers. The
team also benefited from the experience of senior
captain Kyle Kelly. The squad was rounded out with
juniors Ryan Sturma, Phil Holden, and Tim Holden
as well as sophomores Snickerbacker, Rob Reed, and
Granello. The team finished 19th at their opening
tournament for the fall season, the Mid Pines Invi-
tational. They were led by Reed who placed 24th
overall. Boston College placed third at the Blue
Devil Invitational when Granello finished at one
over par to lead the Eagles in the two-day tourna-
ment. Reed was also BC's top finisher in their tenth
place finish at the Towson Invitational, second place
finish in the Joe Agee Invitational, and seventh at the
Pirate Invitational. The team is looking forward to
more strong play and a good finish in the 2005-2006
spring season.

The Women's Crew Team competes in
both the fall and spring seasons. The
Spring season is the biggest season for
the rowers, but they train all year long. This
devoted group rises at five otlock to row each
morning on the Charles River. The Eagles'
first big regatta of the 2005 spring season was
the Knect Cup. The varsity eight team had a
disappointing finish, as they did not qualify
for the finals. Other BC boats finished strong
with the second varsity eight winning the gold
medal, a third place finish by the varsity four,
and another third in the second varsity four
event. A huge highlight of the season was the
rowers' second place overall finish in the Big
East Championships at the End of April. It
was the best Boston College has ever done in
the conference championships, topping the
previous best of third place in 2002. The first
varsity eight placed third in their event, and
the second varsity eight garnered a second
place. The team was very proud to have head
coach Steve Fiske honored as Big East Coach
of the Year. The Eagles also finished second
overall in the ECAC Metro Championships in
May. Most of the races were cancelled due to
inclement weather, however the varsity eight
event was held and BC's boat earned the silver
medal. In the Fall 2005 season, the team com-
peted in the Head of the Charles in Boston.
They raced multiple boats in the regatta and
were happy to have the novice four finish high
enough to guarantee a spot for that boat in the
2006 Head of the Charles. This was a great
accomplishment, as it is very hard to get boats
into the popular regatta which boasts boats
from all over the world, including Olympic
teams. The team competed in the Princeton
Chase at the end of October. They ended the
fall season with the Foot of the Charles regatta,
placing two boats in the top eight. The team
signed received letters of intent from three
high school rowers in December, who will be
joining the team as freshman in the fall 2006
season. The team looks forward to continued
improvement and success in both the 2006
spring and fall seasons.

A Tradition Of Excellence.
Then, Now and Always

On July 1, 2005, Boston College officially left the Big East and entered the Atlantic Coast Conference. A charter
member of the Big East in 1979, BC was invited to join the ACC as its twelfth member. The ACC was founded
on May 8, 1953. It originally had only seven members, but additional schools have been admitted to the conference on
four occassions, the most recent being BC. The ACC has been considered an athletic powerhouse conference since its
introduction, boasting 91 teams winning national championships over the years in a variety of sports. By joining the
ACC, Boston College accepted a challenge to compete at the highest level of collegiate athletics in the country. BC was
officially invited to move to the ACC on October 12, 2003 and immediately acccepted the offer. The move guarantees
tougher competition for all sports, a more secure athletic future, and greater revenue. As new opponents are faced, old
rivalries are left behind. Within the ACC, there are 11 varsity men's sports and 12 women's sports. BC participates in
all of the supported women's sports and all of the men's sports except for lacrosse and wrestling. Since the ACC also
features men's lacrosse, at BC it may make the jump from club to varsity in the future. Of the 12 schools in the league,
BC has the distinction of having the most varsity sports, a total of 31, and also of being the only school to have men's
and women's ice hockey, sailing, and skiing. While these sports will remain independent of league, the other sports
will face a new level of competition from the southern schools. In its inaugural season, BC hopes to follow the motto
of the ACC, A Tradition Of ExcellenccThen, Now and Always^' as a new era in BC athletics begins.

The women's equestrian club provides
opportunities for riders of all levels. The
organization provides riding lessons for
members and allows them to enter horse shows.
Within the club, there is an equestrian team that
participates in IHSA intercollegiate horse shows.
The team participates in six horse shows in
the fall, and they compete in three more in the
spring, followed by the regional tournament. In
November 2005, Boston College hosted a horse
show at their home Volo Farm. For the 2005-2006
season, Michala Mulhern was selected as club
president and Eileen Walsh is the vice president.
In addition to riding, the Equestrian club provides
opportunities at horse rescue farms, handicapped
riding centers, and equestrain-care education.

The mens rugby team opened the 2005 season
in a new, more challenging conference. The
team's impressive 2004 season was highlighted
by winning the Green League Championships, earn-
ing them a place in the White League for 2005. The
Eagles performed well against their new opponents,
finishing the season with a record of 53. The squa-
dof about 50 members played several games on its
practice field at St. John's Seminary. The rugby team
emphasized fitness, dedication to a cause, scholastic
accomplishment, and service as key components of
their success. Not only did the team push themselves
physically on the field, coming to school several weeks
early to train and participating in rigorous work-out
sessions throughout the year, but they also value what
they accomplished off the field. The rugby players
volunteered in the community a great deal. They were
involved in the MDA Passion Plunge in which they
took a dip into the ocean on Valentine's Day to earn
money for the MDA. The rugby team also sponsored
and ran a field day for the underprivileged students
of the nearby Nativity Prep. The team also benefited
from the leadership of Coach Brendon Worley. and the
2005 rugby officers: Kevin Brady. Tom Case, Mark
Ciccone, Sean Hanel, Andy Walsh, Brian Ciccarelli.
Stephen Pettruti, and Kyle Ramachandran. This core
group of individuals kept the large group organized
and focused throughout the season.

The Women's club rugby team had another active
fall season. This popular team was proud to
have a well-rounded roster with numerous
members of each class, including seven new fresh-
man. The team had one win this season - a 24-10 vic-
tory over Brown. The team also competed against the
University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Williams,
Radcliffe. and Dartmouth. They were proud that
their coach received the William J. Dolan award and
was inducted into the Boston College Athletic Hall of
Fame. The rugby squad is looking forward to further
improvement and fun in the future.

The Boston College Cycling Club is a co-ed team which offers many
riding opportunities to students. Its members ride recreational 1\ as
well as racing road and mountain. There were 21 members on its
roster this year, but numerous others joined the team for their group rides.
Mountain racing occurred during the fall season, and the spring season
consisted of road racing. During the seasons, the team trained with out-
door group rides. To stay in shape between seasons they trained two days
a week in the plex. The cylcing team competed in races all over New Eng-
land, New York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania including the Boston Road
Race and the Boston Beanpot Classic. The Classic took place at Tufts and
was organized by several Boston schools, including BC. The team is look-
ing forward to welcoming new riders to the squad and more strong racing
in the 2006 spring season.

The Mens Crew Team races in both the fall and spring seasons.
Although it is a club team, it competes against many varsity teams
from schools across the country including the top leightweight
boats from Navy, Harvard, Yale, and Cornell. The Spring 2005 season
was marked by great victories and a major loss for the team. BC won
the lightweight eight event at the Jesuit Invitational Regatta They also
won repeat championships in the lightweight events of the ECAC Rowing
Championships and the Dad Vail Championship Regatta. They closed
out the spring season racing in the lightweight eight event at the Intercol-
legiate Rowing Association Championships. The season was not without
it's share of hardship. At the Dad Vail championship regatta in May 2005,
the mens crew team suffered the loss of one of its teammates, Scott Liao,
after the lightweight 8 won a gold in their event. Laio was an amazing
oarsman, student, and friend. They would like
to dedicate this page to him. The Fall 2006
season was marked by three big regattas. The
crew team raced in the Head of the Charles
Regatta, the Princeton Chase, and the Foot
of the Charles. In the upcoming 2006 spring
season, the team looks to become the first ever
to three-peat at the Dad Vail Regatta.

Life is different from one year to the next at Boston College. At first, everything is
new and exciting. Freshman Orientation showed us, through skits and laughter and
Father Himes, exactly what to expect when we got to the Heights. Well, maybe not
exactly. Those first few days in September of 2002 seem like a blur of "Where do you live?
What's your major? Where are you from?" We got lost a few times on the bus and in Boston
and we were thrilled to find our way back to the welcoming embrace of Chestnut Hill (or
Newton). By sophomore year students have settled into a routine and try to bring stability
to life. The key word in that sentence would be "try!' Finding off-campus housing, making
plans for abroad, discovering the Career Center and finally picking a major all seemed to
leave very little time for enjoying the present moment. Still, we celebrated as we beat Notre
Dame in Alumni stadium and we celebrated as we won the Beanbot. We also celebrated
the major every-day victories such as actually going to all of our classes and passing most
of our exams. Junior year allows students to reflect on past experiences and make changes
to better their Boston College lives. For some, we took time abroad to reflect on just how
little of the world we know and also to remember that as wonderful as crepes and pints and
sangria all are, Chestnut Hill is our home. For those that stayed put, junior year meant
off-campus parties, a road-trip (and a win!) to Notre Dame, and finally, finally turning 21.
We solidified friendships and internships, decided against picking up yet another major
and/or minor and finally learned exactly how to not fall in O'Neill in the middle of a bliz-
zard. Now, after four years of life in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, these Eagles are ready
to celebrate one final journey, together as seniors. We have conquered theses and term
papers and lab reports. We have mastered waiting in line at MaryAnn's (with our passports)
and we have learned that a good night always ends up in the Mods. We have beaten Notre
Dame (3 times!) and have chanted insulting things at BU
fans. We have finished our degrees and started friend-
ships. We have done a lot during our four years on The
Heights. Most importantly, we have left impressions of
friendships on each other. Let these pages act as a record
of those impressions as we "fly like an ealge" to set the
world aflame. Mnrisa Fusco

V *^ ACHIEVING NEW HEIGHTS *C?

We became the newest addition to the Heights in September 2002. We lived on Upper and
Newton, tailgated in the Mods, studied in Bapst until 5AM during finals, partied off-
campus, traveled abroad for studies and service trips, and sang "For Boston" more times
than we know. The past four years have truly taught us to Fly Like An Eagle. Our time in Chestnut Hill
is marked by events on many levels, all of which have undoubtedly made us who we are. The sexual
abuse scandal in the Catholic Church and the War in Iraq both emerged. Hillside and St. Ignatius Gate
were constructed and opened. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger succeeded Pope John Paul II. and the Atlan-
tic Coast Conference replaced the Big East. We have seen the transformation of Lower into Corcoran
Commons and the addition of the Yawkey Center to Alumni Stadium. Road trips to Notre Dame. March
Madness with BC ranked #4. and the Frozen Four fostered the spirit of all Boston College Eagles.
Storming the court after defeating Syracuse, going to the Fleet Center for the Beanpot. and the toss up
of Superfans with Alumni Stadium roaring in excitement will be fond memories of BC history which
we shaped. We have had internships and jobs in Boston, taken T rides into the city for food, shopping,
and entertainment, and walked Linden Lane with students studying and playing frisbee on Bapst Lawn.
From ordering season tickets by mail in the summer to waiting in line at Conte and the evolution of The
Chocolate Bar replacing The Perch, we have been a part of this experience. The community of Boston
College has been there throughout it all. with friends, staff, and professors undoubtedly impacting us;
challenging us to discover where we are. why we are, and who we are. As we leave the Heights to take
on new challenges, we are prepared with the compass which Boston College has provided. The growth
of campus with new land across Comm Ave., consistent national
rankings academically and athletically, and one of the highest and

qualitative applicant pools in the countrx is indicative of the sue *

cess we as members of the BC community are poised to achieve.

AND LEAVING OUR MARK ON THE TOWN

If we have learned anything by the time senior year is upon us. we have learned the value of time
management, and the importance of being able to balance two very essential elements of college life:
hitting the books then hitting the bars, although not necessarily in that order. Once we've honed this
skill, there is nothing holding us back. We are no longer limited to shady places with loose ID policies,
or places where we know the guy at the door: we are not limited by time nor distance. Boston College
seniors are out everyday of the week in all the reaches of the city. Despite the distances some may travel
for a night on the town, many chose not to venture beyond the comforts of Cleveland Circle however, as
there is are lack of options in our own backyard. Despite the complaints we may have about BC favorites
like Roggies, CitySide, or the often criticized but always populated Maryanns. there is nothing quite like
being able to guarantee that you will find your classmates out partying just a short walk from campus. If
those choices are too limiting, throughout the wonderful city of Boston it is possible to find a social scene
for everyone: be it pubs, clubs, chic wine bars, or our favorite local dive: there is something for all of us.
The Kells and Harvard and Brighton Avenues in Allston have recently grown into BC favorites, adding to
the allure of Bostons nightlife. Although your parents may not enjoy the thought of their children out until
all hours of the night every day of the week, at times like these it becomes necessary to realize that time
is up. it is year four, the final round, the victory lap. When will you ever in your life get the opportunity to
waste so much time? The answer is never again. After graduation there is graduate school or job applica-
tions; in some cases, there are both. After graduation we are expected to be grown ups, to work a nine to
five, and to pay our own bills while living in our own places. Much to our dismay there is no longer time
for pub crawls or daily happy hours, because once we leave these
Heights, it is on to the dreaded real world. While we are here, while
there is time to spare, drinks to be had. and bars to be danced in. let
none of that time be wasted. This is our time, our opportunity, to
live life w ithout regret. We should not be afraid to live it up. because
college happens only once. So while there is time, lets all raise a
glass to the Boston College class of 2006. to four years of memories,
and to years and years of possibilities, and of course, to Maryanns.

VH >* Eagles already soaring to glory y _ r

On July 1. 2005. Boston College became the twelfth member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The northern-most university with the largest array of varsity programs in the conference.
BC distinguished itself from the onset. This was a huge development for the community
since it introduced new and exciting competition for the Eagles. Since ACC standards require its foot-
ball teams to have their own weight room facilities. Boston College quickly added the Yawkey Center
to campus this summer. On Wednesday. September 28. the day before student season hockey and bas-
ketball tickets would officially be sold. Boston College Superfans came out in the thousands, hinting
at the enthusiasm of being in the ACC. Conte Forum became a temporary home for the Superfan
faithful, lining up throughout the day in anticipation of purchasing tickets the following morning at 7
AM. Hundreds of (mostly upperclass) students waiting in front of Hillside Cafe were dismissed at 10
PM after being informed that 3000 students already occupied the halls of Conte Forum. Juniors and
seniors wished to use their own 'Talons of Fury" against the many freshmen and sophomores who now
possessed the opportunity to purchase the inaugural year tickets. Weeks later, an email from the Athlet-
ics Department offered a lottery to win one of two season packages of basketball tickets. This allowed
many more upperclassmen to attend Eagles games before graduation. BC had shown it belonged in the
ACC. Early morning wakeups and tailgating now had a greater purpose. ESPN's College Game Day
came to campus for our debut in the ACC. broadcasting live from the Dustbowl. Students crowded the
background, covered in maroon and gold. The FSU game drew national attention, and BC was going to
make sure it was recognized and respected. "For Boston" echoed from the infamous sea of gold shirts
in Alumni Stadium. Despite the cold and rain, the stands were
always filled in Chestnut Hill. Eager Superfans even traveled for
hours to attend the Maryland football game the weekend before
Thanksgiving break. Our football team proved itself by winning
the Atlantic division of the ACC over Florida State \\ ith an overall
record of 83. The promising start to the inagural season finds the
Eagles already soaring to glory in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

From August 23 through August 31, 2005 Hurricane Katrina blew through the Central Gulf Coast
of the United States with winds reaching 175 miles per hour, leaving behind damage ranging
from 70 to 130 billion dollars, and taking the lives of upwards of 1.325 people. The storm caused
large amounts of damage in areas such as the Bahamas. South Florida, Mississippi, and Alabama, but
no part of the nation was so damaged and devastated as the Greater New Orleans area of Louisiana.
When the storm surged on the coast near Buras-Triumph. Louisiana, the levee system that protected
New Orleans was destroyed, and the entire city was flooded. People were forced from their homes not
only out of the city, but also out of the state. 90,000 square miles of the United States was designated as
federal disaster zones, with over five million left without power, and the possibility of electricity being
absent for up to four months. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff described Katrina's after-
math as being "probably the worst catastrophe, or set of catastrophes in the county's history' There was
an immediate outpouring of help by groups like the Salvation Army and the Red Cross, who worked on a
large scale to raise money and provide food and shelter for those displaced. But help was necessary still
on a smaller scale, as thousands of students were left without schools. Boston College was there to lend
a hand. Boston College accepted 150 visiting students from Loyola and Tulane into the Woods College
of Advancing Studies, and was able to provide 100 students with emergency housing on the university's
Brighton Campus. There were also several students enrolled in a variety of Boston College's gradu-
ate programs. Although the students are studying here on a non-matriculating basis, they will always
be a part of the Boston College community Until their schools reopen and they are able to return to
New Orleans, we would like to recognize the students who w ill be
remaining with us for what will be a large portion of their senior
year of college, and remind them that they are here as Eagles, and
are truly a part of the heights. Most importantly, we want them to
know that both they the students and their families will he in our

The curse of enjoying yourself

The symptoms begin subtly. One day you don't feel like going to class so you just do not. The
next day, you ignore some reading. Justfied by watching "The OC" or catching a new movie on
Channel 48, you choose not to study for a quiz that, if you think about it and maybe even take
the time to do the math, really only counts for about two percent of your overall grade. What you don't
realize, though, is the real cause of this increasingly relaxed behavior: senioritis. Before you even expect
to feel its effects, you are already hungover at your Wednesday afternoon class, if you even make it
there. And it's only October. It inevitably happens to the best of us. The delicate balance of class-going
and bar-hopping becomes more of a significant difference. Weekend routines creep into daily forms.
Senioritis is almost hypnotic; after your first few encounters with simply forgetting about school and
enjoying the freedom of all of your friends' legality, it seems there is no escape from this new lifestyles'
warm, welcoming arms. Then it hits you as you come across your dusty syllabi crumpled at the back
of your drawer while searching for your missing shot glass and notice that in one week a long paper is
due and a midterm worth half your grade will be given. You feel a sudden rush of panic. "Whoops...
how could I have let that happen?" you ponder with your friends at the bar on a Wednesda) night. In
your almost two decades of being a student, you would think that you would have the drill down. And
not only should you be completing these simple academic tasks, but also searching for a job to take you
down a new road of life. Or maybe even preparing for graduate school exams to enjo\ several more years
of even more rigorous academic studies. These seem to have all been forgotten by the constant celebra-
tions of the "last Halloween or hangover in March as a senior!' All in the same situation, you agree
that you have let some responsibilities slide and it might be tough
to maneuver. As you throw back your shots and chug your beers
to forget all the worries that put you in this very position though,
you know that you will always remember these moments with your
friends, and not care that you sacrificied a grade to make them.
College will not be remembered as missing that A- but instead
experiencing times that you still laugh about years later.

For Those Who Went Above and Beyond

Tina Corea

College of Arts & Sciences

Tina has consistently involved herself in all aspects of the BC
experience and in doing so has sought to improve the future of
the university. She has portrayed a genuine passion and concern
for today's pressing global issues through her International Stud-
ies major and participating in the Cuernavaca Immersion Trip.
More than actively involved with campus life, she fully commits
to whatever she undertakes. Founder of the BC Urban Project,
she sought to increase the academic dialogue and understanding
of urban life on campus. She has assisted with the planning of
BCs future through her involvement with various university and
UGBC committees impacting campus life and the BC commu-
nity. "The Boston College faculty and staff and my incredible
peers have shaped my future plans through their love and intel-
lectual imaginations, and have molded me into the person I am
today, continually pushing me to look beyond my own world view
and to live out the mission of being a servant leader when it will
be most difficult."

Brendan Sage

Carroll School of Management

Brendan seeks to incorporate who he is into Boston College,
and in so doing, serves as an embodiment of a true man for
others. His passion for the school, his fellow students, the com-
munity around him, and the community abroad is immense. As
a Campus School Marathon runner, he seeks the full develop-
ment of the individual. A leader of both Kairos and the Jamaica
Summer Service Trip and a PULSE volunteer with Project Bread,
Brendan's passion for service and care of the individual is one of
commitment and enthusiasm. "Meeting passionate and inspir-
ing friends and mentors throughout these different experiences
has been unbelievable, and I have been challenged to reflect on
what Jesuit ideals really mean, which has helped me grow into a
complete person." The compassion and attention which Brendan
exhibits towards others is an inspiring display of one individual
making a difference.

Men and Women for Others

Ted Serra

College of Arts & Sciences

Ted devotes great care to his academic pursuits and makes
diligent efforts to place academics as his top priority. He has
achieved balance, however, by involving himself with a number
extra-curricular activities which focus on making the BC experi-
ence better for others. As a member of Appalachia Leadership
Council, he assists in the placement of hundreds of students in
spring-break service projects. On Halftime Council, he chal-
lenged BC students to think about the direction of their own
studies. He spent a semester studying in Madrid and continues
his study of piano. "BC has challenged me to incorporate ser-
vice into my everyday life and presented me with a community
of motivated people working to make the world better for tomor-
row!' He brings to each task his sincere desire to have it be the
best that it possibly can be.

Rosa Ortiz

College of Arts & Sciences

Whatever it is that Rosa undertakes, she does so with genuine
ness, leadership, dedication and organization. She firmly adheres
to the Jesuit ideal of seeking social justice in all aspects of life
and is not afraid to offer a challenge to an accepted norm if it
defies that idea. This has led her to partake in activities that ben-
efit others: with the Red Cross, she helps ensure humane treat-
ment for all, and as a founder of the BC chapter of Americans for
Informed Democracy, she assists in educating the BC commu-
nity about international issues of great concern. "My professors
and friends at BC have helped me to face challenging questions
and not to be satisfied with easy answers." Rosa never ceases and
is a woman for others, excelling in all she does.

Looking Back

'May God bless and keep you always

May your wishes all come true

May you always do for others

And let others do for you.

May you build a ladder to the stars

And climb on every rung

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young

May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous

May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth

And see the lights surrounding you.

May you always be courageous

Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young

May you stay forever young^'

Bob Dylan

"There are places I remember
all my life, though some have
changed, some forever, not for
better, some have cone and some
remain. All these places had
their moments, with lovers and
friends I still can recall, some
are dead and some are living.
In my life, I've loved them all.
Though I know I'll never lose
affection for people and things
that went before, I know I'll
often stop and think about

them!' The Beatles

Do you remember? Getting accepted. Nervously
going to freshman orientation. Meeting your room-
mate, "tour first football game. Getting lost taking
the T. Getting lost in the quad. Seeing Vanilla Ice.
Waiting on lines at the Plex. Discovering late night
food. Only being able to enjoy Christmas lights for
two months. Freshman year's freezing winter. Tray I can t remember al 1
sledding. Getting shafted in the housing lottery, the times I tried to tell
Marathon Mondays and St. Patricks Days. Laugh- .,« A ir *^ u^a ~ * +~ *u^~

^ _ . . _ r J B t1 myself to hold on to these

ing at Dane Cook in Conte. Waiting forever to sell J

books back only to be told they're not taking yours moments as they pass.

anymore. Not being able to fit all your stuff in Counting Crows

the car. The excitement of returning from breaks.

Living on Lower for the first time. The Red Sox

finally winning the World Series. The rise of OC

and wine parties. Traveling to Notre Dame to see

BC win again. Not having a Notre Dame game

senior year. Registering your first party. Moving

to the ACC. The newer, stricter tailgating rules.

Watching BC almost beat Duke, wherever you

were. Only being let in to MAs if you're from MA.

Advice

"I have never let schooling interfere with my education!' Mark Twain

"Live on Newton! %ah, it gets
cold in the winter, but there's
nothing like going home to
your own campus with all
other freshmen around!'
"Upper is the best, "fou never
have to wait for the bus, walk-
ing to classes takes no time,
and you can go home between
classes. The only downside
are all the stairs on the way up
to campus!

.??

"For those of you who love BC,
get involved with everything
you love on campus. \bu can't
go wrong with following your
passion, plus everybody loves
new friends and more of a
social life. If you get claustro-
phobic on campus, take advan-
tage of Boston and getting
off campus because then you
won't mind it so much when

you're back!'

402 Seniors

"I would tell
people to go
abroad. It mieht
be your only
chance to experi-
ence another cul-
ture to such a full
extent. It's really
more of a social
experience than
academic, which
is awesome. And
who wouldn't want
to enjoy the good
food and cheap
wine in places like
Italy and France?"

'Don't worry about every little grade
hat you get if some are bad. %u only
have four years to live in a place with
people all about your age and who
don't have to work forty or more hours
a week. Take advantage of the relax-
ing times and it will help you not to

stress outT

"Pick your courses, choose your
friends, spend your time, and basi-
cally live your entire life in a way
that you will be proud of in any w a\
at the end of every day...
Everything else will fall into place! 9

Advice

Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it!'

Agatha Christie

"Don't plan your college
career out. Throw yourself
into whatever you're doing
and have faith that you'll
have the credentials to get
you what you want!'
On knowing what you want
to do in college and life:
"Don't know your song? \bu
have four years to write it.
Start with the melody and
fill in the words later!'*

"Every day seek out and

snatch just a little bit of

happiness for yourself.

I've been searching for the

meaning of life for the past

sixty years. I used to think

it was the Hokey Pokey:

that's what it's all about...

(Thank you) No, it's just

finding, each day,

a little bit of happiness!'

* Professor Michael Moore

42S Seniors

'And will you succeed?

^fes, you will, indeed!

(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

Kid, you'll move mountains!

So.. .be your name Buxbaum

or Bixby or Bray, or Mordecai Ali

Van Allen 0'Shea..r

"Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to
Great Places!
Y>u're off and away!
You have brains in
your head. You have
feet in your shoes.
You can steer your-
self any direction
you choose. You re
on your own. And
Y)u know what you
know. And YOU
are the guy who'll
decide where to

so...

"\bure off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Youx mountain is waiting.
So.. .get on your way!"

Dr. Seuss

Oh. the Places You'll Go!

Now, some of you may have your futures mapped
out. Whether it's continuing your education,
conquering Wall Street, starting a Fortune
500 company, getting into politics, maybe becoming
an entertainer. Then there are some of you who may
not have a plan yet. That's ok. Don't be embarrassed
by indecision. Remember: this life is a marathon.
Whatever road life leads you down, you can change
direction at any time. And that's what makes life excit-
ing. So map out your future — but do it in pencil.
Remember, 'Not all who wander are lost! Jon Bon Jovi

In Memory

Greg Monack
January 22, 1984- June 11, 2003

"No one 's death comes to pass
without making some impres-
sion, and those close to the
deceased inherit part of the lib-
erated soul and become richer
in their humaneness "

Robert Oxton Bolt

Scott Laio
March 1, 1984-May 15,2005

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot

change,

Courage to change the things

I can,

And wisdom to know the
difference

In Search of New Heights

'"fou are educated.

This year, graduates of the class of 2006 will soar
to various places around the world and build new
nests with the knowledge and training Boston Col-
lege has provided them. Many students choose to
remain in the Boston area after their positive expe-
riences, while others venture to different countries
on volunteer programs. Whatever one's new path
requires, though, he or she can feel confident in
the faith and values that Boston College instills in
its students. Eagles can be proud of their educa-
tion in future endeavors and know they can always
fly home to visit classmates and teachers or to con-
tinue supporting the athletic teams in their new
vintage Superfan t-shirts. It can be exciting and
it can be scary, but commencement is just a step
towards becoming part of, and hopefully impact-
ing, a new community, much bigger than that of
the school in Chestnut Hill. As we move on in our
lives, Confucius advises that "Wherever you so, so
with all your heart!'

"^bu cannot help but
learn more as you take
the world into your
hands. Take it up
reverently for it is an old
piece of clay with
millions of thumbprints
on it!'

John Updike

"It takes courase to
grow up and become
who you really are!'

As students at Boston College, we are all blessed to have support systems.
That may mean different things for each of us but whether it be our family,
friends, the administration or some combination of the three, when things
look as though they are at their worst, we can turn to our support system and it will
remind us to stay the course, that things will get better. Likewise, Sub Turri is very
fortunate to have the support of its Benefactors and Patrons. The generosity of these
donors allows us to buy much needed equipment and supplies. This year, we were able
to purchase a brand new computer, on which much of this book was created as well as
several new digitial cameras which captured many of the images featured throughout
the book. Also, it was with the patience and support of our donors that we were able
to successfully implement a new online ordering system. Still, the support of our
Benefactors and Patrons is about much more than equipment and ordering systems.
Each time an order comes in with a donation, it helps to remind all of us on staff that
someone cares about what we are doing and thinks it is a worthy investment. In the
depths of McElroy on cold nights, this type of encouragement goes a long way. With
the backing of so many thoughtful people, we find the strength to baby-step our way
to deadlines and someone manage to have everything fall into its proper place. To
our Benefactors and Patrons, thank you for your support and for believing in us. Your
encouragement has meant a lot to us this year and we truly appreciate it. We hope
that the book you are now reading has been enjoyable and that we have made you
proud in our depiction of the 2005-2006 school year. It is our sincere wish that many
years from now you will look back on these pages and determine that you did, in
fact, make a good investment. Though your names
appear on the pages that follow, please know that
your generosity is responsible for all 504 pages of
this book. Your kindness has left a lasting impres-
sion on us all and will never be forgotten. Thank
you. We couldn't have done it with you! Marisa

CIjOSING

Edited by:
Myra Chai & Marisa Fusco

Condense a year in the life of Boston College and all of its undergraduate
students into five hundred and four pages. That is the daunting task
that faces the Sub Turri staff each year. Nonetheless, we have tried our
best this year to demonstrate the Impressions that 2005-2006 left on us and that
we left on it. We witnessed catastrophic natural disasters, improbable sports
victories and triumphant world events. Still, our lives centered around Boston
College and Chestnut Hill. We hope that the preceding pages have done justice
to all that that means. As we have learned from our time on the Heights, it is
impossible to fully encapsulate all that it means to be a member of the Boston
College community. For every member of the community, it means something
unique. We are very proud of that diversity. Therefore, this book does not
attempt to capture every single student's memories for that would be impossible.
Instead, we have tried to highlight some of the most memorable moments from
academics, student life, organizations, sports and seniors so that when we look
back on this book many years from now, our own memories will be sparked and
we will remember 2005-2006 in our way. To the Boston College community,
there could be no greater gift than to allow each of its members to take away
from the experience what they will. St. Ignatius would be proud of that. And
so, we began this book with advice from Henry David Thoreau and we end
with similar advice from K. Rafferty. To the Boston College community, take
this advice and allow it to help you make your
own Impressions, not only on the Heights but
also on the world. "Go, set the world aflame."
Congratulations on another successful year.
Marisu Fusco

Erin Klewin

I would like to personally thank Erin for being a great
editor as well as the Academic section staffers, Jessica ai
Susie, the photographers, and Jostens, Inc. Much appreci-
ation is sent out to Myra and Marisa for being excellent
editors in chief. Sub Turri would not be what it is without
you two. Yearbook is a great production, not because of the
hundreds of pages that are labored over, but because of the
individuals that put forth the effort. For the seniors that are
departing, you will be missed.

Wow, it's hard to believe another year has passed! This has
been my third year working on Sub Turri, and it's been greati
working on the Academics section. Id just like to thank
everyone who made this year's book so fantastic! Thanks
to Myra and Marisa for putting the whole book together,i
being great editors-in-chief to the rest of us, and always;
being there to help us out when we needed it! Thanks also
to all of the other editors for being great company in the
office, and special thanks to Nhu for being such a great co-
editor! From emailing deans to taking pictures of classes
early in the morning to staying late in the office to finish
deadlines, you were so much fun to work with and helped
keep me sane during proofs! Academics may be a short sec-
tion, but we both worked really hard to make it the best itj
could be, and I think we definitely succeeded. I'd also like
to say hi to my wonderful friends, my lovely roommates
in SIG 418, and of course to my amazing family, who have
always supported me in everything I've ever done - I love
you

Student Life

Anita Isama

VyVyVo

I just want to thank Myra and Marisa for giving me the
opportunity to work on Student Life. I really enjoyed being
co-editor with Vy Vy. Vy Vy thanks so much for everything!
Nhu you are the best, and you helped me a lot this semester
with yearbook and more. Thanks to everyone who submit-
ted pictures and to our wonderful staffers who wrote great
copies.

Time flies. I can't believe that this year has gone by already.
I have fully enjoyed the opportunity of being a Student Life
Editor and a part of Sub Turri for my sophomore year. The
section looks beautiful, and I want to thank my co-editor
Anita for all of her hard work and understanding. I couldn't
have done it without you. The late hours, the dedication, and
the stress were all worth it in the end. To Marisa and Myraj'
you two are the best EIC's ever! I appreciate everything you
have done, and best of luck to both of you in the future. 1}
want my friends from BC and Randolph (Dirrty) to know
that all of you make me who I am today, and I wouldn't be
able to survive without each of you in my life. To the ladies
of 90-417, I will treasure our laughs and memories forever
Save my spot in senior year. I love you, girls! I particularly
want to thank Chandi, my roomie and fellow diva, who put
up with my daily 'Top 10 Quotables" and who always sup-
ported me. Only one more year to go and I'll be working on
MY senior yearbook. Time flies.

Sarah Alsamarai

Working on the Sub Turri staff this
year has been a great experience.
With deadlines that always seemed
to come too quickly, computers we
could never fully figure out, and
emailing clubs repeatedly for pic-
tures, we have finally completed the
Organizations section. Although
I worked on my high school's year-
book, I was not quite sure what to
expect. The nature of work was cer-
tainly different from high school.
With the help of our editors-in-chief,
M&M, and my amazing co-editors,
Jess and Maddie, we have been able
to pull everything together in what
we hope to be an innovative way. I
thank them all immensely for their
support! I wish the best of luck to
next years Organizations editors,
for they are sure to have a great
experience and become friends in
the process.

Jessica Lee

The year of 2006 has come to an
end, and everyone on the staff sur-
vived, thank the Lord. Thank you
Marisa and Myra for staying normal
and not bitins all of our heads off
during deadlines. And thanks to
my co-eds, Maddie and Sarah for
everything. Next, what can I say
but Edmonds 828 baby! I love you
girls for keeping me grounded and
sticking by through thick and thin.
912 girls too. especially for not put-
ting up with all of our stuff. Push
on '08 boys, we're supposed to have
two more amazing years together!
Finally, thank you to the Gate boys
for acting as my second home, liter-
ally. And thank you for keeping me
sane this year, it's been more than I
ever expected. And. that's it! To an
amazing last year and to a new and
even better year.

Sports

Madeline Rodriguez

First of all. I need to thank Marisa
and Myra for not only being great
ElC's. but knowing someone in
almost every organization and
making my life much easier. I alsd
can't forget to thank Mom and Dad.
for not having a seizure when I asked
you to pa> S40.000 a year so I could
live in a room half the size of my
own, eat cafeteria food, procrastinate
and see snow. I promise I will never
let you regret your decision. I have to
mention those who helped me form
my own "impressions"' at BC. To the
Clava 407 Crew — between the LOST
marathon, hip-hop classes. Dane
Cook, and random nights of talking
until 4am. we kind of got stuck with
each other. Sandy you are the best
roommate anybody could have asked
for and we're so lucky '"the other one"
never showed up. It's been "525.600
minutes"" well spent and I love you
all!

Katherine Modzelewski

Working on the yearbook has been a great experience that 1
truly enjoy being a part of. Many thanks to Aubrey for once
again being a great co-editor. No matter how prepared we
thought we would be this year after learning how difficult
sports was last year, it was still always an adventure, but
somehow still always managed to get done. Thanks also to
Myra and Marisa for keeping everything under control and
creating such a great yearbook. And of course, thank you
to my amazing famib for supporting me. and to m\ friends
for always giving me something to laugh about.

Aubrey Timm

My second year on Sub Turri has been a great experience.
1 owe the biggest thank-\ou to m\ co-editor. Katie. Thanks
for always stepping up to the plate and doing more than
your fair share. Thank you to Marisa and Myra for once
again putting together an amazing book. You not onl\ put
together a wonderful yearbook but make sure that every-
thing runs smoothb along the way I cannot imagine doing
the sports section without all of your help and guidance.
I would like to thank and congratulate all the athletes,
coaches, and people involved with Boston College athletics.
It has been so much fun creating pages to honor the won-
derful accomplishments vou ha\e achieved. BC is lucky to
have such amazing \arsit\ and club sports teams Thanks
for all your contributions to these pages Thank you to m\
friends at RC. You are what makes this .'. special place for
me. I appreciate your help and support with my yearbook-

Seniors

Kathleen Ahearn

I can't take much credit for this year's senior section, during many of the deadlines I found myself too bogged down with work
to spend more than just a few hours in the office, leaving Carolyn and Shane to do the majority of the work. They were really
good sports about it, letting me help when I could, and not giving me grief when I couldn't. I wish that I could have done more,
but at least it allowed them to put their heart into their yearbook. I can't believe you two are graduating, it doesn't seem like;
enough time has gone by for you to be leaving. Although I've only known you for two years Carolyn, I can't remember you not
being a part of my college career. We've had some pretty funny times be it in the office, making fun of ourselves for whatever
work we had failed to do, or that we had somehow done wrong, or at the big yellow house for one of countless parties and end-
less hours of beruit. How random was it that the one night that you partied with me my sophomore year, you met Johnny, who
coincidental ly was friends with so many of my own friends, what a small world. If it wasn't for you, our section would never
have been completed. You had my back when it came to so many of those deadlines, I owe you big time. Shane, I only had thei
pleasure of working with you for one year, but you are by far the most dedicated worker ever, you put in endless hours on thosei
pages and your effort is evident. I wish I had had the opportunity to get to know you better. I want to wish both of you the best
of luck, and I'll definitely miss you as part of the Sub Turri staff next year... Good luck in your search for new heights.

Carolyn Dorazio

As I sit here and write this (the perfect procrastination from studying for yet another batch of finals), I cannot believe that I am
facing only one semester more of college. Creating the senior section as a senior didn't hit me with a sad realization until we
finished our last few pages as I found myself also starting to wrap up my own college life. Happily and sadly I am enjoying myi
best year at BC. I want to give a big hug and a thank you to my co-editors Kat and Shane. Thanks especially for putting up wit!

[my steadily increasing insanity. I love you guys! Once again, Marisa and Myra have been the best support group as the heac
honchos. I will definitely miss working with such cool bosses. Unfortunately, this blurb doesn't give me nearly enough space tc
thank my parents for their never ending love and encouragement, especially since I've been here in Boston. That goes for mj
big brother, too. And Johnny English. You're the bestest. Which is another reason I love Kat. I will always love and miss the Bij
Yellow House, and the hundreds of Beirut games we played (and won with Johnny)! Mo and Maura: we made it! After four years
of ridiculous times (in every sense) I can't imagine not having you girls as my best friends. It's hard to put it all down for you
two, but I know you know. Finally, congratulations and good luck to my fellow classmates graduating in 2006! "For a moment
this good time would never end. ..I shall miss this thing when it all rolls by!' (DMB)

Marisa, thank you for being patient and understanding with everything, but most of all, thanks for being such a great friend./l
Thanks for the memories of the good times we had working on sports and seniors. Myra, thanks for your humor, stories, and
friendship. Carolyn and Kat, from the good times in the office to the countless emails to the overnight hours working on dead
lines, thank you for everything. Mom, these four years have come and gone, and although they have been difficult, thanks f<
all that you have sacrificed so that I might have. I love you more than you know. K45, your support and challenges have allowe
me to understand more about myself and have changed me forever. K48, thank you for teaching me so much about myself and
for your love.. you are always in my thoughts and prayers... I love you. A46/45, thanks for all of your support with all that I have
done and for the memories these past four years. To all of the people I have met this year that I have come so close to, I thank
God everyday for you being a part of my life! As our time on the Heights has come to an end, the world lies at our feet. It is
now our opportunity to excel in all we do, serving as men and women for others, and making a path for ourselves in the world
upon which we are about to enter. I love you all and pray lor the best for all of you. Know that I am here for you always... much
love BC!

simply was not going lo happen: thank you for not giving up during those times. Thank you for always hearing our side of the
argument and for helping us through when we were not sure where we were headed. We hope \ou arc as proud of this book as
we are. We appreciate your advice, your kindness and. most importantly, your friendship. Piano. Piano.
Peter Greer, thank you for never being more than a phone call or e-mail away. In this year of transition, we often talked about
business more than design: thank you for never forgetting to remind us to maketfoc book look its best. We coujd not have

customer.

Myra Chai

y thank you's do not do justice to my gratitude for the help and support I experi-
enced during this year's book but I hope they convey in some sense what I feel.
Marisa, there really aren't enough words to express how much I've loved work-
ing with you over the last few years. Two books later I have no regrets over what we've
accomplished and will always cherish all the time we spent together. I still can't believe the
progress we've made not only on the actual appearance of the office, but on the actual aspect
of the work. It's kind of funny the way our progress has reflected our themes. We built our
Foundations and here are our Impressions. I hope that you are as proud of this year's book
as I am. You've been an amazing friend and I'm so glad you'll be around another year so I
can force you back into the office. Thank you so much for finishing off this years book, I
can't wait to see when I get back! To the staff, plain and simple, this book would not have
been what it is without your help. More than any other year we avoided the late night rushes
and the panic attacks and I think that speaks volumes about the type of staff this book had.
You've made my job that much easier and I'm entirely indebted to all of you. To Mer, for
all of your wise words, you advice and your support through the year during my transition
to a newly defined art life, thank you. To Peter, Marisa and I are indebted to all of your
kindness, your patience and your help, especially through crunch times. To Bob, Erin and
Isabelle, thank you for all the photography work, the snack supply, the tabouli and the end-
less supply of smiles. To Rick, after a delicious Vinny T's dinner and many laughs later
the cover looks absolutely spectacular. To Sandy, your meticulous inspection of everything
Sub Turri related has been entirely invaluable. You all have been entirely patient through-
out this whole process and I hope you are as proud to be a part of this book as I am.To my
BCers, I finally gained a life and I have no regrets over the amazing times I had fall semester
and what I've experienced in Ecuador. For all the lunch dates, the late night deep reflec-
tions, and the parties, thank you. To Brian, what is there to say? You can make me smile
even when I'm having an awful day and over the last few months you've defined a huge part
of my life and for that there are not enough thank you's. To my LAers, M A 2 and the 5 live

on, so thanks for the never failing insults and lovi
o n me when I fail to and for all the support.

Marisa Fusco

Four years have come and gone and I am forever changed because of it. Being a
part of Sub Turri has left a deep impression on me. It has helped me to decide on a
career, it has given me lasting friendships and it has taught me one of life's greatest
lessons: no matter how much you plan, you have to be ready to deal with anything. And
thankfully, the end result is often even better than your original plan. To the 2006 staff of
Sub Turri, thank you for your dedication and for helping me to realize my vision. To Myra.
I appreciate everything you have done these last two years. You have taught me that even
I have a creative side and I am forever indebted to you for that. Best of luck next year. To
Jared, this book might be better than yours but that is only because of you. Thank you for
pushing me into this: you deserve all of the credit. To my Ruby gems, thank you for all the
fun times on the couch and in front of the big screen. You girls have been the most wonder-
ful distraction of my life. Though we may not have gotten much work done, we did do an
awful lot of living. I appreciate your support more than you may ever know. To my three
favorites, the best things in life are unexplainable. I love you all and have no doubt that
these four years were only the beginning. To all the friends I have made at Boston College,
thank you for making my college experience better than I had ever dreamed it could be.
Though we may be going on our separate ways, I hope our paths continue to intersect for
the rest of our lives. To my Belfast beauties, thoughts of our Poetry Streets have kept me
sane. I long to reunite with you and enjoy pints and dancing. To my family, you allowed
me to follow my dreams and that has been the greatest gift you could have ever given m<
hope that as my dreams become realities, you are proud of the outcome. And to Matt, you
are my Prince Charming. m\ best friend and my soul mate. Thank you for supporting my
ever) move, even when those moves keep us apart. Your encouragement to just keep bab)
stepping has been and always will be m> strength. I could not have accomplished all that
I have without you. Thank you for loving me for all the things 1 couldn't change though
I've tried. I look forward to pictures on the baseball field. I love you more than I ha

\j>^ 2006 at Boston College ~0

Every graduating class believes that their four years at Boston College were the best the
school has ever seen. Though that question may be part of an ongoing debate for many
years to come, one thing is certain: every year at Boston College is memorable. This past
school year is no exception. When we read the revised edition of The History of Boston College
many years from now; 2005-2006 will be remembered for a number of different reasons. For some,
it may best be recalled as the year Boston College athletics joined the Atlantic Coast Conference.
With pride and dedication, the Eagles soared south and showed the ACC that the little college from
Boston belonged among the powerhouses of sport. This year also saw a record number of applica-
tions come through the Admissions Office of Boston College. Perhaps it was the sports or perhaps it
was the Jesuit ideals or maybe our world-class academics that attracted so many potential students.
More so than the "Flutie Factor." 2006 may be remembered as the year that started the trend of
placing Boston College among the nation's top-ranked universities. The nation's attention was also
turned towards Boston College as we became just one of main institutions to welcome students
from universities affeted by the devastation of Hurrican Katrina. And still, to Boston College stu-
dents, the 2005-2006 school year will be remembered for the smaller moments that were somehow
more important. We will remember Barack Obama beginning the school year at Convocation. We
will remember ESPN Game Day on the Dustbowl and MaryAnne's only accepting passports. We
will remember the debacle of basketball and hockey ticket sales. We will remember new academic
programs such as the Jewish Studies minor and countless numbers of extra-curricular activities.
We will remember the impact of "The BC." We will remember Homecoming in the ram and the
electricity of Conte when the Blue Devils came to town. We will remember watching as Doug
Flutie came home to play for the Patriots. We will remember
the first time we saw the new St. Ignatius statue and the da\
we saw the Plex parking lot flood. We will remember watch-
ing some of our fellow Eagles compete at the Olympics in Italy
We will remember life in the Mods and nights out in Cleveland
Circle. Most importantly, we will remember that our hearts
w ill forever be true, 'til the echoes ring again. This year, like
all others, will be remembered "For Boston!" Marisa Fu^<<'
